#1 The rest of the Moslem world has come to see al Qaeda as an aimless and violent group, who appear to have no realistic goals.

Instead, they prefer Hamas and Islamic Jihad.

#4 "That said, the current king of Jordan, and his late father, went out of their way to be nice to their Palestinian citizens, as long as there was no violence against the government."

King Abdullah II's beautiful wife is Palestinian. He's often put in untenable positions, yet has been a good friend to the US.

#6 the idea of an absolute monarchy died about ..oh say..three or four hundred years ago.

Remember the old saying, If it's stupid-but it works, then it isn't stupid.

Monarchy works for them, leave it alone.

#7 The rest of the Moslem world has come to see al Qaeda as an aimless and violent group, who appear to have no realistic goals. That, plus the al Qaeda fondness for bloody attacks against Moslem civilians, turns most people off.

There's nothing wrong in principle with blowing up infidel civilians, mind you, they're just asking "what's in it for us?"
