Thomas L., Kuala Lumpur: "The CIA has a long history of toppling governments with minimal effort, just by inciting local unrest by using money to brainwash locals against their governments. They did this before in Iran. They are trying it again. Those on the streets in Teheran against the Islamic government is all the mental offspring of the CIA.
CIA ima dugu povijest rusenja vlade s minimalnim napora, samo poticanje lokalnih nemira pomo?u novca na ispiranje mozga mještani protiv svoje vlade. Oni to u?inio prije nego u Iranu. Oni su pokusati opet. Oni koji na ulicama Teherana protiv Islamske vlasti je sve mentalna potomstvo CIA-e.

Dubai's government operates within the framework of a constitutional monarchy, and has been ruled by the Al Maktoum family since 1833. The current ruler, Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, is also the Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates and member of the Supreme Council of the Union (SCU). Dubai appoints 8 members in two-term periods to the Federal National Council (FNC) of the UAE, the supreme federal legislative body. The Dubai Municipality (DM) was established by the then ruler of Dubai, Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum in 1954 for purposes of city planning, citizen services and upkeep of local facilities.
DM is chaired by Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum, deputy ruler of Dubai and comprises several departments such as the Roads Department, Planning and Survey Department, Environment and Public Health Department and Financial Affairs Department. In 2001, Dubai Municipality embarked on an e-Government project with the intention of providing 40 of its city services through its web portal (Dubai.ae). Thirteen such services were launched by October 2001, while several other services were expected to be operational in the future.

Originally
a small fishing settlement, Dubai was taken over around 1830 by
a branch of the Bani Yas tribe from the Liwa oasis led by the
Maktoum family who still rule the emirate today.
Traditional activities included herding sheep and goats, cultivating
dates, fishing and pearling.
The liberal attitudes of the emirate's rulers made Dubai attractive
to traders from India and Persia who began to settle in the growing
town, which soon developed a strong reputation as the leading
entry port for the region
An independent emirate for most of its history, in 1971 Dubai
came together with Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Fujairah
and (in 1972) Ras Al Khaimah to create the federation of the United
Arab Emirates.
The discovery of oil in 1966 dramatically transformed the emirate
by allowing the development of the economic and social infrastructure
which laid the foundations for today's modern society.
Much of the credit for this development can be traced to the vision
of the late Ruler, HH Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum, who
ensured that Dubai's oil revenues were deployed to maximum effect.
His work has been continued by the present Ruler, HH Sheikh Maktoum
bin Rashid Al Maktoum.
