Not Bush, the Iraq freedoms. And given the cluster fuck of tribes within most of these countries I can certainly see why there is little spoken credit about other countries. We are seeing an amazing, almost universal (within the region) movement of people that had been under a dictator's thumb to a hopeful freedom.
I can see where a poly sci major might argue it coincidence, but I am a scientist, and I cannot deny that there must be some generating cause. Can you name one that makes more sense that Iraq?
