		Noor gives you a view of a world you thought you knew, that will never look the same, and she paints a loving and memorable portrait of her husband, King Hussein, that will make you sorry all over again that he is no longer with us.
		Noor presents a one sided view of the Middle East that is at shockingly shallow, ignoring facts and making up new ones in pursuit of her goal of painting the more than 200 million Arabs as victims of fewer than 6 million Israelis.
		Noor would do a far greater service speaking the truth to Arabs, including those who live under her son, the current King's, "enlightened" despotism, instead of presenting rehashed propaganda to American audiences.
