Dubai Summer Games 2012

Surprised? I was just imagining this hitting headlines sooner or later and here it is. Dubai will surely take a stab at the Summer Olympics. I didn't realize it would happen so soon. It just doesn't make sense though with temperatures hitting 120+ degrees during the summer time with 100% humidity. I'd like to see them get past environmentalists with proposals for air conditioned 65,000 seat stadiums. Although, human rights activists didn't seem to sway Beijing much in their fight for Darfur. If anything, Dubai would make a better contender for the Winter games with their upcoming indoor snow dome and that giant indoor ski slope near the beach...
