Zefreak2 has sent me this slideshow of The Palm in Dubai and it really looks like an incredible feat of human engineering. It's sad though that all the region's petrodollars go into projects like these rather than into improving the freedom and opportunity of the millions of poor people who live there. Here's the homepage of The Palm Jumeirah project. Yeah, I wouldn't mind owning one of the private islands.

According to "The Earth Is Flat," Dubai is investing billions in industries that will sustain it and its people when the oil bucks are gone.
