It's one of the nicest threads I have ever read. Great inputs. Thanx all All the problem we see in Gulf Country started after 2nd world war. Oil was founded in Gulf at the end of 1st world war. People started realizing the importance of oil after 2nd world war. So, I was just trying to connect all these things. I was wondering...... let's say suddenly it happens that None of the Gulf Country can produce Oil....or....Scientists find a cheap and efficient alternative to Oil, so that there is no need of Oil from now onwards. What will happen to all the politics going on within these Gulf Countries?? (looks hypothetical :D) Any Idea, Please??
