Not likely. They’d probably have become another military dictatorship, then get Arab spring sprunged, and then become another Islamic dictatorship. The only Arab country that might remain a democracy for long is Iraq, and that (Iraq) is all Bush’s fault./sarc on last sentence only.
I work in the scientific field, and know many muslim scientists; smart people all of them, with much to offer to improving the human condition. Most of them quite Americanized, but mostly from India. They're not from Saudi,Syria,Jordan,Iraq,Egypt. There are a few from Iran; very nice people. But in the middle east, it's a shame, that all of that lost potential is down the pooper because they can't think about something besides hating Israel. What a waste. Sheesh! I pray for those people that they stop hating Jews and start thinking about their own future and that their land become just as beautiful as Israel.
