re the petrofrezza,
i live in one of those nearby countries, and generally, I've never seen a group of people that looks more American in terms of body shape and general swolleness from the mcdonalds, kfc, hardees, and cheetos diet and lack of activity. (Don't get me wrong, I love all of those foods. but not 5 meals a day.)
This is not a dig at those that are struggling with weight, but those foods and the kind of sedentary life a lot of folks live here is unhealthy at best. It rains 5 days a year (maybe) and people lack vitamin D bc they don't get enough sun. seriously.
I digress, but I think a $200mm order would be a footnote on one of the gulf state's annual budgets. There are diabetes clinics everywhere here, and they are really struggling with the problem, it seems.
The convenience aspect would be huge in this market, and I think as soon as one gulf country starts using it, the others will quickly follow suit.
They will have to start making designer label inhalers though.
