Not only is the US now the world's largest terrorist country, it is also an unexpected catastrophe in contract law; though the "unexpected" part shows a lack of foresight on the part of the Kuwaitis.
The Gulf states bet the farm on the idea that the US would provide a security umbrella for them, and now they're finding out that US can't even protect their own assets in the region. So, now they want their money back and will likely start getting rid of US bases that makes them a target.
