It's an interesting move.

I read somewhere some other day that the monarchy in Jordan is slightly insulated from the people's wrath as it is seen as ever so slightly distant from the govenrment.

Either way, jordan is also in the firing line and it will be interesting to see where it goes.

The other interesting one is Syria - also repressive, but will it fare any better?
