But Wait a Minute...

No oil,no water, and $59 billion in debt. How is this different from, say, the guy who told us he planned to be the Bill Gates of carpet cleaning?

But wait a minute--isn't the absence of resources supposed to be a good thing? Rich in resources, you wind up like Russia or Iraq. Hungry for resources, you wind up like The Netherlands, or at least Venice. Wasn't I saying just last summer how lucky Tunisia was not to have any oil?
