Jordan Seeks To Play Only One Role,

It Should Not Be Strange That The Values Cherished By All The Three Major Religions Are The Same, Since They Originate From A Common Source. For Example, Islam, The Predominant Religion In The Middle East, Accepts As An Integral Part Of Its Religious Teachings Both The Old And The New Testaments. If This Commonality Of Moral Traditions Among The World's Major Religions Does Not Say Something About The Universality Of Religion, It Does Say Something About The Universality Of Mankind.

Jordan Seeks To Play Only One Role, That Of A Model State. It Is Our Aim To Set An Example For Our Arab Brethren, Not One That They Need Follow But One That Will Inspire Them To Seek A Higher, Happier Destiny Within Their Own Borders.

The Dilemma Of Our Age Is The Combination Of Unprecedented Material Progress And Systematic Spiritual Decline. The Decline In Public And Private Morality Can Be Witnessed In The Marketplace As Well As The Forums Of International Diplomacy. In The Past, A Man's Honor And Reputation Were His Most Valuable Assets. Business Agreements Were Made With A Handshake. Today One Might Be Well Advised To Check The "bottom Line" And Read The "small Print."

Jordan Has A Strange, Haunting Beauty And A Sense Of Timelessness. Dotted With The Ruins Of Empires Once Great, It Is The Last Resort Of Yesterday In The World Of Tomorrow. I Love Every Inch Of It.

I Want To Say A Simple Thing, That The Dividing Line Exists Not Between Jordan And Israel, But Between The Proponents Of Peace And The Opponents Of Peace.
