Arabian Peninsula

"This is the Arabian Peninsula, home of the Arab people. That's where the Arabs were originated. Also, oil is drilled as well of course. I think this has to be in a time of peace, because there is terrorism and is having some anti-US dictators in there. Bet there also are pro-US dictators."

--Su Ji-Hoon, Memoirs of a Crisis
