Jordan has long been both one of the most stable and one of the most politically moderate countries in the region. How long will it remain so before the extremism and chaos of the Mideast negatively affects Jordan?
There are reasons to doubt that Jordan will remain insulated from the problems of the Mideast much longer. The US-based human rights group Freedom House, which had before rated Jordan as "partly free" (freer than most Arab nations) has recently rated Jordan as "not free". Perhaps the Jordanian government feels that less democracy is necessary for stability.
Thoughts?
