From the Paper:

"Although the Middle Eastern region of the world is an enormous geographic area, when an important event happens in one Middle Eastern country, it almost always has a dramatic and direct influence on life in other regional nations. A case in point is the recent U.S. attack on Iraq: as a result of the toppling of the Saddam Hussein regime in Iraq, Jordan's third quarter exports with Israel fell by 16% compared with the same quarterly period in 2002. "The Irbid Qualified Industrial Zone" is a joint economic venture between Israel and Jordan, which was established in 1994 as part of their peace agreement. The zone reported exports of $91.5 million, compared with $108.5 million during the third quarter last year."
