Tareq al-Maeena tells the story of a "budding flight enthusiast" friend of his, who went to an air show in Dubai, and returned home frustrated after he found most of the display focused on military hardware.

Are our countries so active in wars and invading other countries to spend these enormous amounts of money on buying these expensive things, instead of using them to improve anything else, like, say health or education? # »
