I came across this article while I was reading Yahoo news. Now, I am very pleased with the improvements that i'm seeing around Bahrain. Funds are being allocated for the purpose of strengthening the infrastructure of the state. Roads are being improved, healthcare is efficient, and Bahraini institutions of higher education are top in the Arab world. All in all, quality of life in Bahrain is good.

Unfortunatley, some of our neighbors, who shall remain nameless, do not seem to understand the importance of investing in a solid infrastructure. They mainly seem to be concerned with the life of luxury and the splendor of places such as Cannes and the likes. I guess the big picture is that oil revenues are fleeting and if they don't realize this and act now, their country will revert to the way it was 40 or 50 years ago, an empty sandlot that evokes little or no interest from outside of Arabia.


And oh yeah! here's the article
