The world has been waiting for someone to step up and try and calm the Middle East, and like it or not, here he is. "He" is Jordan's King Abdullah. Could be a lot worse.
Here are a few paragraphs of what he is saying, or click on the link for the full text.
Jordan's King Abdullah said Sunday the problems in the Middle East go beyond the war in Iraq and that much of the region soon could become engulfed in violence unless the central issues are addressed quickly.
"We could possibly imagine going into 2007 and having three civil wars on our hands," he said, citing conflicts in Iraq, Lebanon and the decades-long strife between the Palestinians and Israelis.
"Therefore, it is time that we really take a strong step forward as part of the international community and make sure we avert the Middle East from a tremendous crisis that I fear, and I see could possibly happen in 2007," he said.
