#1 This question can be reformulated "Will Hashemite Kingdom survive?"

#2 Jordans king understood well that the Islamic movements 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.

#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.
