They do not have those options and if you have to spend a little more to bring a little bit of home to the American in Iraq then I say go ahead and do it.

I live in the Middle East now and I can buy a can of Coke at the corner shop for about 27 US cents. I won't though, as Coke is a client of ours and I can get it for free in my office. We don't get the cans in the office however, we get the glass bottles. Interestingly enough, the bottles are manufactured in Kuwait. It says so on the bottom.
