The Arab World's Can-Do Guy: Jordan's King Abdullah II
(Slate) Lee Smith - Last week, King Abdullah walked out of the White House with assurances by the U.S. not to prejudice future Israeli-Palestinian negotiations. On April 29 in Amman, Abdullah's wife Queen Rania led a march against terrorism. The pan-Arab daily Al Hayat reported that close to 150,000 people turned out, some of them burning photographs of Bin Laden and al-Qaeda associate Abu Musab Zarqawi, a Jordanian national who allegedly plotted a chemical attack against several targets in Amman.
