-Caveat Lector- sorry prudy, but your facts are just wrong here palestine was divided by the british mandate, and the part that became jordan was given to the hashemite kingdom BY THE BRITISH, for their helping the british during world war 1. The majority population of jordan are palestinian, and they are being ruled by a minority group that the british installed into power. their populations are to paraphrase you very interchangeble: - On August 23,1959, the Prime Minister of Jordan stated, "We are the Government of Palestine, the army of Palestine and the refugees of Palestine." "Let us not forget the East Bank of the (River) Jordan, where seventy per cent of the inhabitants belong to the Palestinian nation." - George Habash, leader of the PFLP section of the PLO, writing in the PLO publication Sha-un Falastinia, February 1970 "Palestine is Jordan and Jordan is Palestine; there is one people and one land, with one history and one and the same fate." - Prince Hassan, brother of King Hussein, addressing the Jordanian National Assembly, 2nd February 1970 "There should be a kind of linkage because Jordanians and Palestinians are considered by the PLO as one people." - Farouk Kadoumi, head of the PLO Political Department, quoted in Newsweek, 14th March 1977 check this website (or any good history book) http://www.yahoodi.com/peace/jordan.html : ------------------------------------ Pluralitas non est ponenda sine neccesitate William of Occam NEURONAUTIC INSTITUTE on-line: http://home.earthlink.net/~thew > From: "Prudence L.
