Not that long ago noone talked about Lagos in Nigeria like this Westerner and I am sure that he hits African Mind Sets quite well.
The Middle East has Dubai as its centre, the Near East, the region of Kurdistan, Libanon, Syria, Israel and Jordan as no center of economic hope. Israel decided to stay off its neighbours considering them a constant threat against its existance.
The region was always looking towards Europe having The Middle East in its back as backing and not only in fear or considering there their threat against its existance.
Which town can be that center any other than Beirut? Adopting Dubai administration services by hardly more than copying the source code and installing it on local computers, creating a legal base for ease boarder crossing and simple identification of goods and persons, while leaving as much as possible of freedom to evolve and progress to the individual the region that suffered from all Goods, but therefore also drugs, passing by could use that next to bulls eye position to its very advantage.
Continental Europe will see more violance, chaos and aggressive actions against the ruling authority and its arrogance. The Near and Middle East fought those battles in after WW2 way into the 90ies. The Camp David Agreement may not have brought peace to the region, but hope that Good Humans still have an impact.
We finish the bad off where it started. We create them their Hell's Kitchen. A time the underground will call The Kingdome of Hell.
