A different kind of Arab state?

Dubai's former leader has penned an Op-Ed in the Wall Street Journal where he extolls the virtue of his country: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB120010558127985667.html. He talks of the "new Middle East" and how Dubai aspires to be a different kind of Arab country.

Well, okay. You want to be different? How about establishing diplomatic relations with Israel? What's that, you don't want to be THAT different? Didn't think so...............
