    Do you see or "feel" any "issues" or instability coming out of this?

    No, but he will be missed, he founded AbuDhabi, he was one of those exceptionally good rulers. It will infact bring a bit of stability around for some time, mourning will hopefully quell some of the problems.

    Dont know much about him, but what I do know is he allowed the US to put military bases and such in his country when it wasnt considered a good arab thing to do. At least I think it was him...
