I wish I am making this story up, but I am not. Sources close to Jordan's king told Al-Hayat's correspondent in New York--who will not rest until she finds and punishes the killers of Rafiq Hariri--that they "stressed...that the `Abdullah II comes to the US not to "represent Jordan only" but "for the first time to represent the trend of reason and moderation in the Arab world." Don't get me wrong. I have no problem accepting that the King may represent PlayStation III in the Arab world, but "reason"? If the king of Jordan represents reason, then I represent Southern Baptism.
