	What would King say about Iraq war? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Although King did not completely rule out the right to self-defense, it is almost certain that he would not define bombing and invading other countries as self-defense.
		King did not think it surprising that dispossessed people in countries subjected to neo-colonial rule reacted to their impoverished conditions with bombs and suicide attacks.
		King said during the Vietnam War that "Americans are forcing even their friends into becoming their enemies," and "in the process they are incurring deep psychological and political defeat." We seem to be doing much the same thing today.

		In conversation, Jordan's Hashemite prince spoke of “assuming his ancestral responsibilities” in the region, harking back to the first world war, when his great-grandfather was the British-appointed king of the Arabs, and his great-uncle the king of Iraq.

	The man who would be king of Iraq \| csmonitor.com
		Iraq should be ruled by a constitutional monarchy, says Sherif Ali bin Hussein - and he, as the chosen prince of the Hashemite royal family, should be the one to steer the country toward stability.
		Reinstalling an Iraqi monarchy deposed in a violent 1958 coup - the body of his cousin, King Faisal II, was dragged through the streets - is not an idea that Iraq's remodelers in Washington and London appear keen to support.
		The Hashemites are a Sunni monarchy created by Britain at the end of World War I from among the nobility of Mecca, and Iraq was carved out of the Ottoman Empire on the premise of the Sunni elites ruling the majority Shiites.
