| Title: | Tomorrow's leader... what? |
|
| Iraq is an ancient culture with highly educated, comparitively gender balanced society accustomed to secular rule. Granted, they've had to deal with dictatorship for so long, but if there is any nation that stands a chance of truly embracing the concept of consentual rule without sacrificing Muslim identity, it's Iraq. Thus, Iraq could be a phoenix and grow to be the most prosperous and Western-leaning Muslim nation in the world. If they can pull it off, it would strengthen the hand of the moderate forces throughout the Islamic governments and serve as the secular leader of the Muslim world. Granted, they'll never be the religous leader (the title held by Saudi Arabia), but given that they're literally neighbors, there's a huge opportunity for cooperation in forging a brighter future for everyone, Muslim and non-Muslim alike. |
