really is & how to capitalise on it:  Massive new Road Network of cargo flows via the ME  Massive Sea cargos moving towards Europe, Eastern & Southern Africa, on towards Brazil & Americas. New Rail & Pipeline Systems between East, ME & Europe. Massive global Airport Hubs emerge Dubai (Emirates), Abu Dhabi (Etihad), Qatar, Jeddah (Saudi), Addis (Ethiopian). Container ports will pop up all around Arabic Peninsula, in places like Yanbu - a new transhipment, oil & mineral hub
