Beirut is a city.
Jordan, on the other hand, is over 60% Palestinian, and what many consider to be a Palestinian state already, ruled by an Arab Hashemite King.
Btw, I actually like the new King Abdullah, and he married a Palestinian. That, and the fact that he is reknowned for moving around in disguise among his people to obtain a personal sense of the problems they face, may buy him some time, but eventually he will be subverted as well by his enemies who see Jordan as their next dagger to be pointed toward Israel.
