EFTA02723578 | EFTA02723580 Erin Burnett: When people look at you, they say ok, your family has ruled Dubai for 200 years, your son Hamdan will rule after you, father to son, will that continue forever, do you think? Shaikh Mohammed: As long as the people want that. Our tribe is really ruling bigger tribes because they (are] accepting us to do so. Erin Burnett: So do you think that there will be more countries where the governments fall in the Arab Spring? Shaikh Mohammed: I think this period of time, you know, every 100 years this might happen again. Yes, you have to be careful. You don't know what is happening here and there. But I think the Gulf is safe? for the time being. Erin Burnett: The issue I'm curious about with welfare system. It is an amazing thing to have free health care, free education and no tax. It is a good thing, but it also sometimes could be not a good thing because maybe people are a little complacence or they get a little bit lazy because they know someone was going to take care of them, so instead of starting a new business or working really hard, they know that there is a safety net there. Do you ever worry about that? Shaikh Mohammed: Not really, because this is only the basic. People want more, want a better life, they want a better job; so they have to work harder. Erin Burnett: So, Dubai's had some problems. But you are going ahead. So you are showing people that you could take risks, you can have failures, you can stand up and keep going. Shaikh Mohammed:Yes, and don't stop when somebody doubts you. Once you make up your mind then go full speed. And that's what we think. That's what we believe and that's what is going to happen. I'm not looking for the last spring; I'm looking for the next spring. Erin Burnett: Is Iran a bigger threat now than it was a few years ago? Shaikh Mohammed: Iran is our neighbor, they are Muslim and we lived next to each other for thousands and thousand years. I don't believe that Iran will get a nuclear weapon, I don't think so. What can Iran do with the nuclear weapon? Will they hit Israel? How many Palestinian will die? And do you think if Iran hit Israel, Iran will be safe? They will be gone the next day.
