Here's a glimpse in the mind of this great visionary of our time. Sheikh Mohammed speaks to 60 minutes in a rare English interview. Click here to see the interview .
Some excerpts from the interview :
"I want it to be number one. Not in the region, but in the world," Sheikh Mohammed says. Asked what he means by "number one in the world," Sheikh Mohammed says, "In everything. High education, health, housing. Just making my people the highest way of living."
"Why do you want everything to be the biggest, the tallest?" Kroft asks. "Steve, why not? Why not? If you can have it in New York, why can’t we have it here?" Sheikh Mohammed asks. "Why are you in such a hurry? Most people would try and do this in a lifetime, not five years," Kroft asks. "I want my people to live better now. To go to high school now. To go to good health care now. Not after 20 years," the sheikh explains.
Sheikh Mohammed says he considers himself a friend of the United States and the he loves the country and its people. Asked what he likes about the U.S., Sheikh Mohammed says, "I like everything about them, except their foreign policy little bit. I don't like their foreign policy."
