I saw this report from Yahoo News on the Drudge Report Today

Developer: Dubai Tower at 'new record height'

The developer of a Dubai skyscraper set to become the world's tallest building says the rising tower now stands at a "new record height" of 2,257 feet.

Emaar Properties says the skyscraper — known as Burj Dubai — now has "more than 160 stories." Its exterior is almost done and work has started on the interior.

The company's Monday statement gave no other details. The silvery steel-and-glass building's final height is a secret.

Last summer, the developer announced the building surpassed Taiwan's Taipei 101 which has dominated the global skyline at 1,667 feet since 2004.

In the four years of construction, Emaar twice postponed the skyscraper's finish, now slated for September 2009.

Some thoughts crossed my mind when I read this:

I am impressed that a building this tall can be built but I doubt I will ever go to the top of it. I don't like heights.

A lot of US dollars that were paid for oil may provide part or all of the financing for this project.

There is a drive to succeed that motivates the people who put this project together.

This building impress many of the the people of the world but I don't believe it impresses God.

Could all or some of the money used on this building have been used for more humanitarian purposes?
