Politics in the UAE

So As-Safir reported that Fu'ad Sanyurah visited the UAE and met with "deputy prime minister, and minister of presidential affars, Shaykh Mansur bin Zayid Al Nahyan; and met with the foreign minister, Shaykh `Abdullah bin Zayid Al Nahyan; and met with national security adviser, Shaykh Huza` bin Zayid Al Nahyan; and then with the representative of the governor in the Western region, Shaykh Hamdan bin Zayid Al Nahyan; and also accepted an invitation from the crown prince, Shaykh Muhammad Bin Zayid Al Nahyan".  And to think that hypocritical Western governments refer to such polygamous archaic forms of government as "moderate".
