Middle East Democracy

The Weekly Standard has an excellent article about the impact of democracy in each arab country in the Middle East.  It will be interesting to watch this unfold.

Lebanon – Probably

Syria – Doubtful

Algeria – Probably

Egypt – Depends on US pressure on Mubarak

Saudi Arabia – Something in between

Iran – Pent-up demand strongest here

Iraq – The cradle of civilization is the cradle of democracy
