LONDON, England (CNN) --A democratic Iraq will be essential in helping stabilize the Middle East, Jordan's King Abdullah II told CNN Sunday, but the key component must be resolving the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians.

And the solution must come sooner rather than later to quell Arab suspicions about U.S. motives in the region, the king said.

The king acknowledged that Israel's concerns with its national security are valid ones, but both sides "need to get beyond that as soon as possible."

"As long as you keep security as an obstacle, you're not going to be able to develop the political process," he said.

Another fertilizer salesman on the loose.

Judges 18:30
And the children of Dan set up the graven image: and Jonathan, the son of Gershom, the son of Manasseh, he and his sons were priests to the tribe of Dan until the day of the captivity of the land.

Genesis 49:17 Dan shall be a serpent by the way, A viper by the path, That bites the *horse's heels So that its rider shall fall backward.

Judges 5:17 Gilead abode beyond Jordan: and why did Dan remain in ships? Asher continued on the sea shore, and abode in his breaches.

I think the best solution would be for the US and Israel to just say to one and all: Look, we're not interested in a Palestinian State. The Palestinians are too much of a pain in the butt to put up with. Any Arab state that really cares about the Palestinians can demonstrate it by letting them move into YOUR country. Otherwise, just STFU.

Then offer a $20K emmigration bonus to any Palestinian woman 18-40 who will move somewhere else with her family. No Palestinian women = no next generation of Palestinian rockthrowers. The men will follow
