I wondered about all of the Doting TV coverage upon King Hussein's death.. Big time overdone for a billionaire playboy...I think it was a demonstration to world leaders about the benefits of playing ball and also a good puplicity stunt to show that we liked some Arab leaders...

<<That is not a joke...Late "humanitarian" King Hussein killed many thousands of palestinians and drove 100,000 into Lebanon. Civil war that followed in Lebanon makes Kosovo situation a child's play, but Macedonia potential Lebanon...and any new conflict would threaten to reignite Lebanon....>>

LOL! Now if that is not disinformation, I dont know what is. Those "palestinians" were the PLO, and the reason he drove them out of Jordan was because they were using that country as a terrorist staging area. He was wise to do so, the aforementioned Lebenon disaster was precipitated by the PLO attempt to take over the government of that country, and the subsequent Israeli invasion...

By the way, Palestinians are still a majority in Jordan.
