A genuine benevolent despot?
I saw King Abdullah of Jordan on the Daily show not too long ago, He came across as an extremely well-educated and serious individual. Some of the reforms and accomplishments in Jordan are impressive as well. The king was recently in the news again for calling for the resignation of Syria's president. He is far from the image of the backward Muslims that many want to maintain.
Regards, D-Ray

As you're probably aware, there is a body of political thought that says that the most perfect form of government is a benevolent despot. In the Mideast, that may well be true. FWIW, his wife's a cutie.
