…bravo fad im proud of you, so it has been a long time ! i suppose u have an emirates nationality? or maybe u bought a flat? im sure during ramadan u lived normaly those 13 years the way u always dreamed! im curious 2know why 60% of my friends that r living in Dubai since long time (managers around 9000 us dollar sallary) are running away? did ur “5 major companies” explain 2u that projects will finish in 2015? did thatey explain 2u directly or undirectly that u worth exactly as an indian or pakistany worker worth? but im 100% that when u speak about GCC countries u intend Dubai or maybe lately Abu Dhabi. anyway if u are happy there im glad u4 and for every lebanese there.

Eddy: you clearly have no idea of what you are talking about,
I have lived for 13 years in Dubai and other GCC countries. I worked for 5 major companies so far. The heads of most of those businesses are mostly Arabs and mainly Lebanese.

The Gulf after 2000 is not the Gulf in 1970s so get updated and see who is behind the new projects in Lebanon. It’s mostly Arabs who appoint a small Lebanese manager and he takes care of technical issues while they run their plans.

It because they are interested in multiplying their money and they see no religion and no sect while people like you are still looking for a way to blame others success on more divisions.

…Dubai??????? maybe they just have to say thank you to england and europe for sending moderated people that can transform a desert to
anything you dream of, do you know how the population is divided in Dubai? can you name 1 architect or studio that did a project from local people?? (don’t look at the name of the companies try 2see who is behind this companies managers, designers, decision makers) arab just have money nothing else! but our dear Lebanon is a small heaven on earth but my dear solution maker remeber how lebanon is getting back in time and how we are destroying such a beauty! maybe to help palestine, syria , iran… do you want to see your country like another iraq? did you forget how arab people used 2come and have fun in lebanon?? anyway i guess all Christians do not have any problem against moderated other religions. but you cannot destroy my country and put your rules whenever you want and how you want.

It is interesting to me how some societies, especially in the Middle East, and even in Latin America, firmly believe in zero-sum gain. That is the idea that one can only succeed at the expense of another.

This idea is how Communist sell their idea to uneducated peasants. They point to someone who has “things” and tells them that he has YOUR money. As we know for years of disasters, redistribution of wealth in this matter only ends in stagnation and disaster.

I see the same pattern in Lebanon and Iraq. Tribes (sects, whatever) seem to feel that they can only succeed if they take success from another. The concept of “A rising tide lifts all boats” is unheard of.

I see it to a lesser degree in more socialist counties, such as Australia and Europe. There they call it “Tall Poppy Syndrome”. Anyone who succeeds is looked upon with scorn and suspect because everyone assumes they cheated. To date, unlike parts of the Middle East, they haven’t resorted to guns and violence to “cut down the poppies”.

that’s a nice speach Fad14! You’re right! But unfortunately when most posts and jobs in lebanon are divided among religions and sects, it’s hard to always do what you’re saying!

Its a shame to think the Christians are losing in this picture. I will continue to criticize everyone who thinks like this.

Look at Dubai, Christians have no ministers or presidents or mps and they live a life much better than Lebanon and are respected more and have the highest posts in businesses.

Stop thinking like a minority and get up and take a place in LIFE, its not by your sect you will progress but by your brains and unity with other Lebanese.

Get up and get a place in history and stop playing the victims,

MY remarks go to those who think they HAVE Nothing, no one will give you ANYTHING, Stand up and claim your rights and do something. WE ARE ALL EQUAL, YOU ARE NOT BETTER AND YOU ARE NOT WORSE.

DUBAI Was of people from all sects.

It’s TIME not Times. It’s right in front of you, 4 capital letters.

This is the European edition of the magazine by the way. The US edition had a completely different cover.
