That was the reason I used "(middle) east" instead of "middle east" -- to imply the middle-east-to-eastern region. I don't know how many of the middle-eastern countries are in a socio-political state which makes it possible for them to be involved in US recruiting. I assume that Egypt and Saudi are, but I don't have enough experience with the languages to know whether a person's name is traditionally Indian or something else.
