    Oh, I've got options in the South Pacific. I'm just waiting to see if this pans out. If it does, then I'll start exercising them.

    Not really in Kuwait. They're still pretty strict over there. They just spend money like there is no tomorrow. Now Dubai and Abu Dhabi is no holds barred (until Rhamadan).

The local government A) Looked before leaping so to speak and B) Didn't REALLY have an option for a territory they way less autonomous than say Puerto Rico.
