Which Middle-Eastern Coutry would you rather

Listening to a radio show recently and heard the host make an interesting propisition to a nutcase. Because the Nut didn't trust the U.S. Government he offered to pay for the costs for him to move to Iraq.

Now suppose the offer was extened to you, and instead of Iraq it was middle eastern country, which would you choose and why?

P.S. I kept Turkey out because it is trying to become European, not middle eastern.

Sorry, I'd kill myself first. There's enough religious fervor in the U.S., thank you.
Honestly Israel is the only remote possibility, and I'd probably end up a stain on a wall, anyway.

See I wouldn't move to iraq precisely because I don't trust the US Government...

I chose Israel, and aside from the fact that it's (relatively) democratic, I have no idea why. Good food, maybe. *shrug*

Israel or Kuwait. I would briefly consider protesting in Israel, then remember the recent price drop on lead-based reconstructive surgery that has occured there in the last year.

Isreal, because I will not be stoned in the streets there

Bahrian and to a less extent Quatar are the Veges of the Middle East

Qatar.

It's the only free Arab state for miles around

I voted for Kuwaitt, but if given more options, I would have chosen Dubai.

As for which country I would least like to live in, it would have to be Iran.

I would move to Saudi Arabia. I've lived there, in Israel, and Kuwait. Saudi Arabia was my favorite.

Kuwait, because I believe it has the highest GDP per capita of all of the countries on the list, and Israel, the only other option, is a war zone. I believe there are some countries in the Middle East with extremely low taxes, because of the oil wealth.

Qatar is actually really friendly to foriegners, as friendly as you can expect, and are used to Americans, British, et cetera. They are also distinctly aware that because of their large natural gas reserves that they sell to America and Britian, if they get threatened by their neighbors, America will show up to fight for "democracy" in a hurry, so they have good relations with us.

Off the list: Israel. I know a couple guys from Jerusalem, and they're really nice people. Since I'm part of the International Students' Association (as one of the American helpers to aid in explaining our weird social customs

), I've been told to travel to France, to Israel, to Oman, even to Colombia for vacations. If I actually had money...

From anywhere in the Middle East, probably Qatar. They're a nice, quiet country (as in nothing news-making happens there often), that likes America and isn't likely to get wrapped up in a war any time soon. I'd still visit Israel just to see the various historical sites (and Saudi Arabia, though those bastards don't let non-Muslims into Mecca).

I know a couple really nice people from Iraq. Doesn't mean the country itself is a nice place to visit.
