Although a significant proportion of its population lives below the poverty line, the country is still on its way to becoming the next superpower along with China. So where does that leave Arabs, you ask? Beats me. But if the Arab world really wants to build successful societies then they have to learn how to produce chocolate that is even tastier than anything the Swiss can produce. Like an Arabic chocolate or something. Or how about a chocolate shawarma? :) Oh how the Swiss must be quivering with fear at the thought of having to compete with The Chocolate Shawarma. :) If only more Arabs would respect traffic lights… prosperity would be just around the corner. :) By the way, is India really a poor country?
