	Online NewsHour: King Abdullah -- April 9, 2001
		KING ABDULLAH II: Well, I'm still to see the president, but in our discussions with various members of the administration and even on the Hill, there is a perception in the Middle East that America is not interested in really sticking its neck out for the Israelis and the Palestinians, which is not true.
		KING ABDULLAH II: I think there's a concern of being burnt in the peace process, and therefore, I think quite rightly, the American administration believes that we need to see that both you are willing to take this thing seriously enough to sit down and sort it out before we can get involved.
		KING ABDULLAH II: Well, His Majesty always taught us to be a voice of moderation, to always look beyond the interests of our own borders, to look at the goodness of what could be bought for the whole region in the Middle East, and it's that sort attitude that I think permeates throughout Jordan.

		King Abdullah’s leadership between 1999 and 2004 fits Bronson’s first scenario: “A successful consolidation of power.” Bronson describes this first scenario as one in which the leader garners the necessary support from his constituency and those who govern around him to sustain his legitimacy.
		This chapter analyzes the King’s leadership from five angles: an overview of his government, a summary of the King’s background, an analysis of domestic politics focused on his cabinets, an analysis of foreign policy focused on major developments under his administration, and concluding observations.
		The domestic analysis will focus on each of the four cabinets that have existed under the King’s leadership, all of which are characteristic of his style and may reflect the evolution in his thinking or approach to governing in the first five years of his presidency.

	Jordan's King Abdullah II opens parliament
		King Abdullah II opened parliament Thursday with a vigorous call for a strategy to confront terrorism, saying security and stability were a greater priority than ever following last month's suicide bombings of three Amman hotels.

		Following the attacks, the king swore in a new government and gave its prime minister _ a tough former major general, Marouf al-Bakhit _ the task of maintaining a balance between security and freedom.

		KING ABDULLAH II: She was apprehended near the city. I can't go into the details now, because we're following other leads. We want to know, obviously, if this leads us to other people that were behind the crime.
		KING ABDULLAH II: Not at all. Again, I do question the poll, because there are many other polls that show completely the opposite. The Zogby Poll that was taken at the same times showed that 80 percent of Jordan were against violence, against suicide bombing, against terrorist acts perpetrated against innocent civilians.
