That can't be any further from the truth! My friend's parents were Kuwaiti citizens before the gulf war. There is no financial security in Kuwait. No FDIC, nothing. When Iraq invaded, all assets were frozen, and they had to give all their money to Iraqi soldiers (they store more in their homes than an american keeps in his bank account). They lost everything, and went back to the UAE to live with family. Perhaps someone you know of is fortunate enough to have the wealth and security you describe, but I assure you, you must remove the "Every citizen" clause. - Nitron
