watching the diverging path of Syria and Egypt this last week, I wonder if the failed union between the two could have survived at all. I know Nasser dreamed of expanding the UAR to include countries like Algeria, Yemen, Libya and Iraq (which all had quasi-Baathist leadership in the late 60s), but in the end it never got past a breif failed union with Syria. So what do you all think? How could it have worked? How could it have expanded to include more countries?
