By the time they run out I'm sure they'll have made enough to sustain themselves through the hard times. And if not, well, that building could be converted into a very useful erm, something...

I am sure by then we'll find new sources of energy, using more solar energy, wind etc.
But the Arab's main source of income is oil, almost none of then manufacture goods with the exception of Syria and Egypt having few items that are not even exported and it's for domestic use.

In the whole entire middle east, Iran ( which I know are not Arabs but still considered in the middle east ) is the only industrialized nation that has at least some important things to manufacture, such as clothings, cars which are already exported to Turkey, Tajikstan, Russia, and some African countries, a lot of food stuff, furnitures which I saw when I was in Armenia last year, TV's and a lot more.

The Arabs better get their acts together before it's too late.
