Will King Abdullah resort to brutality to save Hashemite kingdom?

#8  Doesn't he have the best claim to be the "New Caliph"? Somehow I tend to think some bump-headed preacher will be found more "suitable", but you never know, they might pull a switcheroo and start using logic. The Shia will raise hell over that, of course, but they always do.

#2  JordanÂ’s king understood well that the Islamic movementÂ’s demand for democratization is a veneer for its desire to take over the country via elections.

Unfortunately the Obama administration either cannot quite grasp this reality, or simply embraces it.
