Not everyone in the middle east hates us. Especially not a moderate countey like Emirates. Don't worry they won't lynch you at the country club.
 
No I dont think every one hates us - not even in Iran. But even if 10% do it is still uncomfortable. Dubai is very European- women wear what they want they have chilis and appleebees and drink alcohol.. The philosophy of the govt was we need foreigners to help us build our country so we need to give the foreigners what they need to feel as comfortable as they do in their own country. However as a international pilot you will leave Dubai and they fly to all the wonderful places where they may not like you as much. My company has had several instances where Islamic militants or whatever have come into hotel wanting all the Americans turned over or given them notice to leave or we"ll be back! Little stuff like that can ruin an overnight. Even in Europe a couple of months ago I have had numerous anti american demonstrations.. All I want to do is walk across the street for a cup of coffee and people are burning US flags, Lighting George Bush on fire and everything else.. All Im saying is with the present tensions in Israel, and Iraq that some of these people are getting stirred up and it is not the same place it was one or two years ago
