Not sure why having the USA a member would help so much. That area will see a huge tourism boom if they get peace, and all, including Jordan would benefit. I'd tie Egypt in as well. The Red Sea could have great tourism potential. You just can't have bus loads of tourists being shot to hell like has happened a few times.

What about my nafta idea for the entire Trans-Jordan colonial area with the US as member? Shimon Peres proposed an Israeli-Palestinian-Jordanian Benelux in his book The New Middle East. So the Israelis would be on board, and I think the Hashemites too. But as I have explained before, the Palestinian gangsters, which is what they have got for leaders, want prosperity like poison. That's not how the likes of them keep power. The other thugs in the Middle East are enabled by oil money. But the Palestinian thugs are enabled by international welfare. You and I pay for the lion's share of it through our tax dollars.
