Only if you are unable to think.
For many years Jordan pretended to be on our side or at least neutral. But when we went into Iraq we found such things as planes used to train military pilots that were bought by Jordan and resold to Saddam.
It was legal for companies to sell planes and other military items to our Friends in Jordan but not our enemies in Iraq. We now know that Jordan was laundering all sorts of military items for Muslim militants.
But once we found a number of military items sold to Jordan in Afghanistan and Iraq the Jordanians have had to cut it out. Jordan is afraid to cross us as is Kadafi. Syria, Iran, and the insurgents in Iraq are ticked at Jordan for going belly up.
Al Quaeda is trying to show that siding with the US will not protect the Jordanians. They are trying to show Jordan that siding with us is bad policy.
It is interesting to note that at least this attempt by Al Quaeda to punish Jordan failed.
Nice opening line. Amiable isn't the word.
