However, the Eagle report is on comments made by King Abdullah II (dateline 1/27/05)) ... I think a King still captures a pawn.<br /><br />The King's comments were oriented around small democratic reforms within Jordan; whereas the context of the Senator's remarks were centered on the elections in Iraq and the here and now in the Middle East.<br /><br />The Senator is further refuted by the evidence of the Afghan and Palestinian elections.John Gillmartinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11985997360287568530noreply@blogger.com
