You assume I'm Western because I ask a legitimate question.
That's cute.

Aside from some playing both sides of the fence, the Jordanian king and his military are fairly pro-US. They opened their territory to our special operators prior to and during the invasion of Iraq. They have in the past cooperated with the Israelis on some issues. The present king probably speaks better english than he does arabic, and of course his wife and mother certainly do.

The king and his army would be a logical target for Al Qaeda. Proximity to Syria makes them a relatively easy one, too.

I don't assume anything. I don't care what you are, if you expect radical Islamics to make your kind of sense you'll have a long wait.

And, thank you, I am cute.
