There is your correct answer, of all the muslim countries there is one, count'em one that is reasonably well run.

SO well run I might add that their democracy did not cave to the diplomatic pressure of the US in the pre-war buildup. They held emergency meetings of the legislature to decide whether or not to allow US troops to stage from their country. In the end they decided to remain somewhat neutral and not allow troops base on a close vote. I would have prefered they had voted to help us but I'm happy their democracy was strong. IMO Turkey should serve as a model for other muslim democracies.
