“Change is a must. We have always been dynamic. The late King Hussein institutionalised change in Jordan, King Abdullah is accelerating it.”Right before King Hussein died, he replaced his brother as heir with Abdullah. This was rumored to be at the strong urging of his American-born wife, Queen Noor.
One wonders if the liberalization is a payback to her, or she pushed for it because she knew Abdullah would do such things. In any case, it can only bring Jordan further into the American camp.
