	JORDAN: The chameleon king (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		King Hussein of Jordan walked the tightrope of Middle East politics with greater skill than any of his contemporaries during the second half of the 20th century.
		That the king did so for 46 years is a testament not just to his political skills, but to his personal charm, his commitment to the Hashemite kingdom, and to the intense loyalty he inspired within the armed forces recruited from Bedouin tribes.
		King Hussein slowly repaired the damage of the PLO conflict, avoided involvement in the 1973 war, and began to position himself at the fulcrum of Arab politics.

		The king is also remembered by his people for being one of the few ruling monarchs (at least as far as we know) who was for years on the payroll of the CIA.

		What Jordan needs are serious political and economic reforms -- lifting the state of emergency, preserving the food subsidies that seem to annoy the IMF, ensuring the protection of a free press, and ultimately the installation of a new constitutional republic.
