Change can only take place at the policy level. Without democracy, you will have no say in policy making. You get to watch Jordan stagnate and then you will do like tens of thousands of Jordanian do every year, get a visa to anywhere and migrate. Blogging can get you in trouble if you wish to be honest about the problems. So you end up tiptoeing along with dozens of other bloggers and nothing gets accomplished. none of you has policy making powers. And those who do will go on destroying Jordan without being held accountable to the people of Jordan. So long as the US protects the the corrupt and sings their praise, we will be back to square zero again and again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4052900244791771766.post-81466501307232981112009-03-20T15:29:00.000+02:002009-03-20T15:29:00.000+02:00Politics will always be politics.
