[N. Theknow]

Any and all Middle East countries have to be extremely concerned with what is taking place in Iraq. People are free for the first time in their lives. They will have a government more open, a society more affluent for every citizen, an unfettered liberty to speak, act and think which no other Middle Eastern country, except Israel, will have.

Immigrant Middle Easterners that have fled to other countries will still flee from places like Jordan, Iran and Syria, but they will no longer feel the need to flee Iraq. Indeed, Iraq may experience an influx of immigrants.

Regardless of what other countries try to say about Iraq, the word will spread like wildfire that it is the only country other than Israel where freedom is a reality.

Iran, Jordan, Syria, Libya, etc....be afraid. Be very afraid. Civil war may be just ahead in your futures.

Good post. I hadn't thought about them being the only free government in the area. The implications of this will have a long arm.
