Deserving Dubai

What’s the fuss about Dubai, then?
The US has trillions of debt. As does the UK. Yet, they don’t seem to draw out such a brouhaha in the international press.
In fact, for a change, Dubai has been upfront and frank about its problems… a departure from its opaque PR manner.
Much of this has to do with the sheer glee at seeing a brash, noveau riche bully get taken down. And the incentive that drives that kind of media coverage is always so deeply rooted in our psyche that there always is a ‘deserving’ reason for the story.
