Israel has a representative government. For that matter, so does Turkey.
Post-Saddam Iraq had a representative government, but the Shiite majority nearly immediately started to oppress the Sunni minority, and more and more because a proxy of Shiite Iran.
Jordan has a representative government as well, but the monarch tells them what they can and can’t have.
Egypt had one under Mubarek, then there was the Morsi fiasco (he didn’t win, but the weakened “revolutionary” party that had ruled since Farouk was overthrown was pressured to say that he did), followed by his removal. The al-Sisi gov’t ran the country until an election put a popular imprimatur on his usurpation of power.
True, but I should have added except Israel...as for Turkey...I wouldn't make that bet within two years

Sounds just like Obama...
