You might have seen something of this when you lived over there.  "Shiite Iran wants nothing more than to stab itself into the heart of the largely Sunni Muslim-Arab world and take control of it." (R. Z. Chesnoff, first published on Jewish World Review, 7-25-2006)

Also ... how many in today's America know anything at all about Abu Dhabi's Crown Prince, Mohamed bin-Zayed?  ...  Probably, not many.  ...  How many give a damn?  ...  Far fewer.

How many think "Abu Dhabi" and "Dubai" are exactly the same, part of the same exact thing, run in the same way, duplicate histories?

Damned lucky that the second aircraft's crew managed to get out.  I don't see how it could have happened, but apparently the aircraft separated.

A PPRuNE thread's on it.
