[Avodah] Euphrates

[Eli Turkel]

<<and another question I've been wondering about, will all of Iraq be  part
of E'Y -- will the Euphrates be the eastern border of E'Y?  and how  far a
drive would it be from Baghdad to Yerushalayim, if there were a modern
highway between the two cities?>>

I dont think Baghdad is included even in the extended borders of EY.
I understand that Euphrates means the upper portion near Syria
