Kings in Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and now Morocco are feeling the breeze of the "Arab Spring."
King Abdullah II of Jordan was on "This Week with Christiane Amanpour" outlining his opinions on the political protests upsetting the Assad regime in Syria.
Either out of touch or craven in his calculating grasp for power, Abdullah believes that Assad is in control in his nation, despite the growing calls for his removal by Syrians of all ages. Now children are vowing revenge against the state which has butchered, their brother, fathers, and elders.
If King Abdullah is so out of touch about the growing wave of sweeping the region, it is only a matter of time before his grip on power is compromised.
If the King of Jordan's misunderstandings were not enough, the Kingdom of Morocco is beginning to hemorrhage with protests and fiercer police crackdowns. Even the nations which world-watchers assumed would weather out the Arab Revolutions are tumbling into unrest.
Unsettled monarchs are watching as heads of state roll with the punches meted out by their disaffected subjects. With only a matter of time protecting them from down-fall, they are not striking out. Their previous hesitancy has given way to violent apprehension.
