Can/could the Arabian Penninsula unite?

I know there are plenty of countries on the arabian penninsula, and I believe most if not all call themselves Arabs. I know of the Pan-Arab idea of unity of all arabs, but i was just considering Unity of the Penninsula. Could this be possible, ever in the future?

If the Arabs united, nobody could stop them... I'm not even talking about the other Islamic countries here.

Well if the oil runs out and they unite, I bet they could be stopped..

 

One thing we know about the Mid east. it that throughout all of mans history it has been filthy rich. I heard that now there is a future enegry resource inwhich 80% is located on that so holy of grounds...

I forgot the name though...

hah, yes, I was going to ask about Yemen..

Yes, Ottomans mainly concentrated on Balkans and Istanbul. But we cant deny the high benefits of middle east and its societies, culture etc. by Ottoman existance. They've protected middle east from all threats until the empire lasted.

hani you have alot of info i see

so Emirates airline is European and we just put our name on it so it would seems like it is ours.... intersting. you must be one of the founders of that European Airline to find out about this.

and about westerns and pakistanis and the rest of your argument.

i'll just state some facts about UAE

- we got our independence from the British only 33 years ago.

- our Population at that time was less than 80,000 ( the national people). total population was around 120,000.

with that population you wont expect any industrial revolotion would you? and more than 90% dont even know how to read and write. remember that was only 33 years ago not 330 years ago.

- our Population Now is less than 800,000 ( the national people). now total popution is reaching 4 millions.

National Popuation is still small it became 10 times larger than 33 years ago but still relativly small. and from the 800,000 we have aroung 50% who are under 18 years old and around 15% older than 40 ( from the old generation whom mostly didnt has the chance to learn) the remaining of the youth are like 30,000 in the Army as solders and officers.

and the remaining of that are either in colleges or working but still small number to produce higher Quality engineers, scientists, doctors ...etc  who would be able to run an Airline factories and cars Factories and start inventing new stuff and making UAE as a major Industrial nation that can produce other things as much as Oil.

so what do you think we should do?  Wait untill the national people reach 5 million for example then we start developing ourself and our bussness?

no we dont have to wait for that we made great offers for companies around the world to come and invest here and these offers did Attracted alot of world major companies.

and those buildings who are now reaching 50, 70,90,100, and 120 Floors are not for showing up only they are required by the growth of the country and they are fully sold before they are even built yet.

what is happening in UAE now are what the current developments Demand from the country and also the Governmet is not the one who is Building 500 skyscrapers at the same time, there are Investors from around the world wanting to be part of this Development.
