I think Iraq is far more analogous to Germany and Japan than Afghanistan is. Even more so with Iran. Far more literacy, for example. Much lower infant mortality. Much higher GDP per capita. I believe Iraq and Iran will be easier to rehabilitate than Afghanistan. Literacy rate per country: Afghanistan Male 47.2% Female 15% Iran Male 78.4% Female: 65.8% Iraq male: 70.7% Female: 45% Infant mortality rate: Afghanistan 147.02 deaths/1,000 live births Iran 29.04 deaths/1,000 live births Iraq 60.05 deaths/1,000 live births GDP per capita: Afghanistan - $800 Iran - $6,300 Iraq - $2,500 Just for comparison - GDP per capita in Bosnia is $1700. cia.gov
