That lousy Jordanian opposition

There is no opposition movement I despise more than the Jordanian opposition (the mainstream Islamist and mainstream Arab nationalist).  They are so politically cowardly and submissive.  Yesterday, I heard one of the most jarring chant ever in the Arab world: Jordanian protesters were chanting: "The people want the reform of the regime."   To those I say: please go home.  Go polish the portraits of King Khusayn in your homes.
