BBC NEWS | Middle East | Jordan ‘not afraid’ after bombs
Jordan, like Britain, Spain, the US, and many other countries, is not afraid. They’re literally in a difficult position in the Arab world: they’re between Israel and Saudi Arabia. Their young King Hussein II seems to be walking the tightrope as well as his father did. They made peace with Israel, and their country acts as both a gateway and getaway for people working or living in Iraq. This puts them high on the fundamentalists’ hit lists.
Peace be upon all those who lost friends and family, and may the wounded be healed quickly.
