Whoops, I meant Google is allowing pro-life ads to be run on their ad network.

Slightly misleading on the Google news story. More appropriately, Google is allowing pro-choice ads to be run on their advertising networks. At first I thought Google was making a political statement of some sort and running their own ads supporting the pro-life movement.

Just who did Abu Dhabi and Dubai think they were going to attract to the schools there. Any resident or neighborhoody who was any good would come to the states to study. They want the USA experience because that's the real education, unless they want to be Black Jack dealers.
