Since my University is quite close to Calatrava's Sail (visible out the windows), it often gets brought up in our daily lectures. Just after Riyadh's victory one of our professors described the situation perfectly. He essentially said Romans can cry all we want, and accuse Tunisia and Albania of betrayal, but the fact is that AS Roma's new main jersey sponsor is Riyadh Air. A company that has yet to operate a single flight. A hard-hitting reality for some.
You missed a major point for the existence of world's fairs which was to cover up the existence of, in North America at least, an advanced culture whose legacy outshone the won seeking to erase and replace it. And erase they did, destroying many preexisting structures at the end of the fairs. So much lying and intentional deceit, I'm surprised this never crossed your desk....well worth a further look.
