finally the country is ready to share the way I feel. finally Jordanians are convinced that the government and royals are so out of touch with what the average Jordanian is going through. finally.
on this Day of Anger, I would like to congratulate Jordanians on their new found sense of courage to demand what's rightly theirs. they have been manipulated, lied to, and deceived for far too long.
I hope that King Abdullah will get the message this time. lowering prices for a few items is nothing more than a temporary fix that will soon wear off. real change is what will bring back dignity to Jordanians.
4 ►I charge thee, speak!:
this lowering of prices is like giving a kid some candy to stop him crying , temporary
they did nothing to solve what led to this situation
the good thing about all this .. they now realize that people in this country are not walking talking dead
There's nothing wrong about King Abdullah, except that he's a king, and it's 2011.
This article is terrible !
It's the sense of (or lack of thereof) real life and reasons behind solid ground facts that is so disturbed .. and the fact that this is written by a supposed-to-be-well-educated person like yourself, gives an idea of how messed up the minds of less informed and less humanity-evoked people is.
Did you know that :
-Jordan's GDP rates approach 100th ranking (I'm sure you do) !!
-Jordan has one of the lowest WPI (water poverty indices) ? if you think that 1 day water-system will solve the problem, then I'm sorry to tell you that it's only going worse.
I could carry on with reasons for why Jordan is very unfortunate, and yet the current king and his late father made the best of it, and came up with a country which is doing great -on terms of what its resources and conditions have to offer-.
Do I believe in the ruling of non-elected personnel ? NO .. but you have sort of an elected government, and the king is mainly responsible of drawing the general policies. At least to keep whatever positive image Jordan has.
Your idea of an uprising will definitely destroy this decent country. If you mainly think of refuting me as means to prove you're politically correct, then please be my guest. But the idea is that people do not see the big picture, and I'm here to refer to issues that people do not seem to be least aware of.
-do you think that the king is not doing his best to improve the situation ? I'm sure he is doing his best, and I'm sure that he will be more proud when his country flourishes even more. (not the opposite)
-Do you think that an uprising similar to the ones happened in Egypt and Libya will bring peace to one of the safest countries in the middle east? NO .. it will render it ruins, similar to the neighboring Iraq. (you simply can't compare Libya which is filthily made and filthy rich, with country which is poor like Jordan, yet much better on so many levels)
-Do you think that there are hidden wealths that the king is taking to himself enough to make the Jordanian people happy? NO, this is a poor country that is managing to thrive when considering it's resources.

I'm spending time to point to what I think is already clear. An uprising will bring extremists (the same ppl you see demonstrating in the streets for they think Jordan is not "religious" enough).. THAT IS IT .. you don't have bad management .. you don't have a crazy person ruling like Gaddafi .. you have NOTHING to gain from a terrible uprising with no motto behind except for why Jordan has peace with Israel !!
Such a shame if this beautiful country is ruined just for the sake of imitating countries who do NEED change. I wish this country will over come the bad winds of destruction, and survives that minds that complain from lacking golden eggs when they don't have chickens to start with !
