200,000 protest Amman attacks
The Washington Times, World
Looks like the poster boy of the liberal anti-Iraq types is experiencing some unpopularity amongst his own. And about bloody time!
AMMAN, Jordan -- At least 200,000 persons demonstrated yesterday against the recent bombings of three luxury hotels, while a new online statement attributed to terrorist leader Abu Musab Zarqawi defended the attacks and threatened to cut off the head of Jordan's King Abdullah II.
An anti-terrorist demonstration of such size is unprecedented in the Arab world, where Zarqawi, his mentor, Osama bin Laden, and their al Qaeda organization have attained folk-hero status among Muslim masses.
"Zarqawi, from Amman, we say to you: 'You are a coward,' " protesters chanted while brandishing banners with the names of their tribes from every part of Jordan.

Hope all is well!
Great posts, as usual!
Yeah yeah... I see you've been playing more with "pin me maps" and personality profiles than comments ya'self, mon pal!
But... I'm back... at least on as often an occasion as possible. And, as usual, with little pleasure at the news.
