8. Seems a bit strange to read up above that Jordan is helping w/ the no fly zone ....
because Jordan has protesters of it's own that want to oust the Jordanian government.
I guess as long as Jordan is working with the UN to protect the protesters in Libya it would be hard for the Jordanian government to turn around and start attacking the protesters in Jordan! Something to think about.

Protest camp set up in Jordan capital

Hundreds of Jordanians have set up a protest camp in a main square in the capital to press demands for the ouster of the prime minister and wider public freedoms.

"Today is the dawning of the Jordanian revolution," al-Khawaldeh said.

"We will not move an inch from here until our demands are met," he said under pouring rain at the Interior Ministry Circle in the heart of Amman.

Al-Khawaldeh said the protesters want prime minister Marouf al-Bakhit to be "instantly replaced with a liberal government that would quickly implement reforms".
