How can we have where instead of the Baath party taking power, Pro-China communists take power in Iraq? Were there any Maoists in the ICP and if not could the USSR's support of Egypt push Iraq into the Pro-China camp? Would they try to recreate the great leap forward right down to the poor planning or would they learn from China and avoid the worst mistakes? How would a Pro-China Communist Iraq affect the middle east for the next half century?
