There seems to me to be a good opportunity, right now, for a very expensive (to the enemy) gesture. Dubai is rather proud of having the tallest building in the world by a considerable margin. (Of course, they would have more reason for such pride if the designers and just about all the workers on it weren’t foreign.)
Just finished and inaugurated with a fireworks party, and the entire world has its eyes on it. What a good time to take it away from them. A couple of submarine-launched conventional Tomahawks should be enough. And the accompanying message? “We in the West are sick of your violence and your intolerance. You took two of our buildings off us and we have now taken one of yours. Start growing up, and stop acting like spoilt brats with guns, or the next target is the Kaabah.” And if they don’t take the hint? Then the next Tomahawk is a TLAM-N.
