DUBAI (Dow Jones)--Arab policy makers in the Persian Gulf are turning to eccentric plans in their quest for an alternative shipping route for about a fifth of the world's oil transported through the Strait of Hormuz.
Dubai, home of the Middle East's largest-container port within the Gulf, is the latest Arab sheikdom to study projects to bypass the Hormuz shipping lane that's vulnerable to Iranian attack.
According to a senior Dubai government official, planners have proposed building a giant canal across the desert that could handle the huge oil tankers and freight ships that currntly sail through Hormuz.

Hi Nik,
ReplyDeleteNo need to quote the entire article, I've shortened it down and placed a link to the original article.
This is just great news!
ReplyDeleteNo, seriously!
First they built an island(s) in the sea and created an ecological disaster for marine life!
And now they're planning on building a canal right through the desert.
Do these people even realize that if embark on this ridiculous project, they'd be cutting right through their own heart(s), or do they not consider that the desert, after all, is a part of their heritage!
It just struck me!
The prelude to the art of war, it's gettin' absurd with each new day!
