re: #9 Romantic Heretic

You are most welcome. I’ll admit that your comment kept my thoughts provoking, and I wondered what would have happened had Jordan kept its sovereignty rights.

First, woe to those Jordanians living on the West Bank, as King Hussein did not show much tolerance for Arafat. The king would not have been as eager to embrace the idea of thwarting attacks—as Arafat would also have planned assassination attempts on the king.

Second, there would have been a peace agreement in place that allowed Israelis to live anywhere they wanted west of the Jordan.

Ironic plot twist, yes?
