	JORDAN: The chameleon king (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Glubb Pasha, an Englishman, commanded the Jordanian army until dismissed by the king in response to the wave of anti-western feeling which was soon to culminate in the nationalisation of the Suez Canal and the ill-fated invasion of Egypt by Britain, France and Israel.
		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 problems for Jordan were exacerbated by the start of the Palestinian uprising in the occupied territories, which not only raised the political temperature in the kingdom but caused the king to cut remaining ties with the West Bank.

	King Abdullah of Jordan
		While the new king is not likely to be reading this Progress Report editorial, this seems a good time to lay out the scope of reforms that Jordan could take to safeguard its stability and to become free and prosperous.
		King Abdullah would be wise to eliminate all income taxes and replace them with public revenue from Jordan's land rent.
		Jordan could become a center of commerce for the Arab world and the Middle East if it continues the path towards peace and if it moves towards rent-based public finance, free trade, and decentralized democracy.
