I'm particularly fond of the rumours spread by some arab media that Abdullah II. is going to participate personally in the retaliatory air strikes conducted by the Jordani Air Force. Has a certain "I'm the bloody king and you just crossed that line" ring to it.

Apart from that, while Jordanias outrage and a strong military reaction is understandable (and has my full sympathy), I'm afraid it's just what they wanted. A pro-west government bombing IS targets - might bring IS supporters in Jordania to the point of taking action.

Weren't the UN invented after WW2 in order to prevent territorial aggression and crimes against humanity?
