The Old Testament records repeated alliances between Israel and the Egyptians. It was a one-way street unfortunately. Every time (if I remember right) Israel relied on the Egyptians to back them up, the Egyptians were a no-show. Lately, Jordan has actually contributed a lot more to helping Israel with the palies than most people realise. Of course, if Jordan really wanted be 'friends', she could take her former residents back...

It will intersting to see what dynamic unfolds when Saddam goes bye bye..and America is in the region for a time.
Will money from our "Lousy Saudi Allies"..find its way to destabilizing Jordan.
Support for the cause from Iran via Hamas..Hizbullah and the Palestinians.
Revenge and Spite is a huge machination with the Arab...maybe some of that generational Hashemite hatred might surface...finding its momentum focus..because U.S.,Israel and Jordan are in a tenative framework for a future Palie state.
