That is actually sweet. Telling Erbil is like an early Dubai is fundamentally wrong in its very core, until you watch the video taken from its visual atmosphere.
Being no Street Docs, but Top Floor Docs specializing in optical surface treatment they compare the architecture style and visuals - and than that is correct.
We have to understand that the Middle East is not at war for millenniums; That most of the time the region in between Europe and China, being with Mesopotamia the actual core cradle of European civilization, and still believed to have the Garden Eden gate hidden, prospert and flourished by long distance trade and only recently war wrecked a region more important historically to Europe than any other place.
This is the Silk Road Renaissance and its worst enemy are Western financed and recruited Terrorist Gangs like IS and ISIS. They fight underground and in open war fare; They take streets, murder and strike with fear; They use drugs and take no argument of their enemy, which is the liberal Islam and common prosperity in freedom by strong exchange with other religions, life styles and mind set.
Europe's wealth came always from the acre. The Hemp plant was the backbone of that development, later the Potato imported from another continent was added and Wheat is best flourishing in dry hot regions like Sicily or most parts of Arabia a region based on trade formed by Nomads. Charlemagne, today raped like both the history of Gdanzk and Twangste by the ever same people, was a European Nomad, that helped both fight those ever alien to us and put our wealth onto another level by securing continental trade until than limited to safe river and coast ports.
The Nazis forbid Hemp and today chemical toxic substances are legal prescription drugs while Wheat is grown using pesticides all coming from the same companies owned by still the same families that drew boarders by murder and lies over our home.
Do we curate the world or dominate it?
Do we want to fit or commit suicide?
For the Beauty Docs, I first time hear someone successful in the West most darkest place and its lies see the common ground instead ever only the differences. Imagine Mr. Huch, the Kurdistan Mastermind, talk about Erbil being the next Dubai instead of pointing out all that is different.
No other humans I ever met, do focus on differences as hard as Germans. Every step they do ... as if they genetically programmed to be dividing.
