saudi arabia

gdp: GDP: 40% oil or
about 70 billion

kuwait gdp 29 billion 50 % oil or 14 billion oil

iran exports about 20 billion of oil

total about 100 billion

microsoft cisco ge intel ibm dell microsoft have more cash reserves than the entire yearly production of iran plus kuwait plus saudi arabia oil.

oil is small potatoes

the war is about bringing economy and production into the middle east to replace tribalism and superstition

what if the middle east produced 10 percent of the worlds GDP independent of oil? what if the middle east was 1/3 as productive as taiwan
