East -- Propaganda in the Middle East -- Iran : Haman or

race, then what?
520 The author examines in detail the issues most critical to
the region's future. He describes oil as the current, most
important export to the outside world from the Middle East
but warns that technology will eventually make it obsolete,
leaving those who depend solely on oil revenues with a
bleak future. The three factors that could most help
transform the Middle East, according to Lewis, are Turkey,
Israel, and women. He also argues that there is enough in
the traditional culture of Islam on the one hand and the
modern experience of the Muslim peoples on the other to
provide the basis for an advance toward freedom in the
true sense of that word and to achieve the social,
cultural, and scientific changes necessary to bring the
Middle East into line with the developed countries of both
West and East.
