Democracy in the Middle East?

King Abdullah of Jordan seems to know what he's doing. I like his idea of bringing democracy to Jordan, which is currently ruled by a monarchy. Weird though... Basically, a monarch ruler is trying to change his country to a democratic government. As Abdullah said, each country is effected differently, and obviously the same would apply to Jordan. Their constitution is even in reform, and although that's a huge step towards his goal, it will take plenty to time to get to where he wants to be. He admits that it will take a long time, 5, 10, or 15 years he said it might take. Personally, I believe that Abdullah is on the right track and can reach success; but in order for him to get there he'll have to take it easy and make sure he doesn't anger the people. The most important thing I think, is that Abdullah has experience in seeing other countries not do so well (fail.), and from there he can avoid the downfalls of other countries and better his own.
