I can't help but think we should rename it the Bush Gulf. We've occupied it more than either Arabs or Persians. ;-)

I would hope for more raw data and a longer list. I've got stocks to monitor you see. ;-)

Seriously though, I'd rather have a longer list with more data and a seperate column on the politics of it. Cheers, -Pk
