So Halliburton wants to move to Dubai. So here's how I see it: 1. If they're claiming that they're an international entity and not an American corporation then why are we trusting them with so many sensitive military details, perhaps that needs to stop. Perhaps the US government ought to stop dealing with them entirely (Dubai is one of our best 'friends' in the middle east. Unfortunately the bar on that is exceedingly LOW) or 2. If they're saying they're still an American company then this is just a giant tax evasion scheme and someone needs to come down on them pretty hard about it.

Weirdly then, I find myself agreeing with Patrick Leahy...

Some pictures and discussion on the massive level of construction going on in Dubai including: The TWO largest buildings in the world(!), and underwater hotel (with underwater fireworks), man made islands, an amusement park twice the size of disneyland, the largest airport in the world, the largest public transit in the world, etc... Pretty crazy stuff.
