        Their only exports were oil and baseball players. Oil prices have tanked and their government has cracked down on foreign visas. Short of going all Sadam Hussein on their neighbors there isn't much hope for their current government.

          This would be an opportune time for their government to invite in the Chinese.

                    Most people I talk to have nothing but good things to say about you, but you sure come across as a condescending prick. Do you have an inferiority complex you've attempted to overcome through overachievement? Or were you fondled as a child?
