And Jordanian are peaceful people, so they are bound to lose their country sometimes.
Ohh?? I see them as hypocrites who were willing to wage war on the Jews, but unwilling to bear the responsibilities associated with their failure.
That's why they just "dumped" the Palestinian problem on the Israelis, and kept refugees from their wars they created, in camps rather than integrating them into their societies...
Yeah.. I have a special place in my heart for King Hussein (since his wife was American).. But I also have to look at this objectively and recognize the Jordanians bear a TREMENDOUS reponsibility for what is occurring now.
This will sound rather Machiavellian, but there is something to be said for "transferring" the occupants of a land you have rightfully conquered (by having been invaded from that land) to the previous owner. Yes... that would be brutal, but it would also have forced Jordan, and not Israel, to bear the political, military, and economic burden of its war of agression in 1967 and previously, as well as its obstinance in not signing a peace treaty until 1994, many years after the 1967 war, and the peace between Egypt and Israel.
