It was a historical attribute that many "good leaders in the Middle East" shared.

- ethbro 8y agoGotcha. My day job doesn't use foreign policy acronyms. I'm sure there are other examples in North Africa. But 'name good leaders in the Middle East' -> 'here are some good leaders (many of which were nationalists' -> 'most nationalist leaders were autocrats' isn't arguing the same thing. I assume we agree that there were in fact many good leaders in the Middle East? Which was my original point.
