He and his Dad have been great leaders of that country. I have spoke and visited with numerous families from Third Circle in Amman to the Bedouin Camps and there are always pictures of the Kings with members of their family. They are proud to be from Jordan with national pride. Unlike Iraq where it's rarely mentioned of pride to be Iraqi almost to a fault.
In traveling from the Allenby Bridge/King Hussein Bridge to Amman, it was interesting to pick up a policeman essentially hitchhiking back to Amman on his days off and talking about his work and support of their citizenry.
They have a good partner with the USA considering their location, citizenry and what has been going on around them for sometime.
