"King Abdullah's move marked a break with his late father's policy of tolerating Hamas's presence in the desert kingdom."

One of the few truly good guys in Middle Eastern politics today. I have read that he's also a direct descendant of the prophet mohammed... as opposed to the cult of idiots that has hijacked islam. I'd like to see more boldness from him in the reform field though.

It might be the only way out of the morass, for Abbas to invite Jordanian intervention.

Otherwise, "Palestine" will repeat the murderous chaos of Lebanon of the 1970s and 1980s.

Muhammed's only surviving child was a daughter.. Fatima..

If "direct descendant" means paternal line of descent, there are NO direct descendants of Muhammed..
All who claim descent are either descendants of Fatima, his daughter, or an adopted male "cousin"..
