There is a wide range of democratisation across the Middle East, a survey by a leading research and advisory firm has found.
The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) ranked 20 countries on 15 indicators of political and civil liberty.
The Index of Political Freedom lists Israel, Lebanon, Morocco, Iraq and the Palestinian Territories as the most democratic parts of the region.
Why did I bold the three nations of Lebanon, Iraq and Palestine? Their earthquake moves toward democracy are as the direct result of the Bush Doctrine.
Take that, “Democrat” Party of America!

Great news! Thanks, Bruce.
The Marxists can’t stand it when Democracy wins.
Lebanon
Seems not all share your zeal. Lebanon has not materially changed in the 10 years listed by the Heritage foundation.
Iraq is not listed in recent years I think for obvious reasons.
American MSM : “nothing to see here, just move along…”
