Nice to live in if you're on top, but not so nice if you're part of the majority of laborers. Just because other places in the world are worse doesn't mean the problems of Dubai should be considered insignificant or ignored.
True, compared to the rest of the middle east it looks great (which isn't saying much) but with closer analysis it becomes clear that it's a husk of a city that owes much of its "success" to oil rather than social progress and ingenuity. Is it better than many other places? Sure. Does it serve as a model or inspire other countries in the region to improve themselves? It doesn't seem like it.
To everyone saying that they should be given the opportunity to join our civilization, it's not like they have a choice. They'll die if they get the common cold or flu or at the very least come close to death.
