Iraq: Iraqi in Jordan · Global Voices
Haitham Sabbah

Zeyad is in Amman, and what he describes is not what Jordanians might agree to. He said: “Amman is the same as I left it last time. An ever expanding bustling city that gives the false impression of modernity and a progressive, enlightened society. Yet, every Jordanian I spoke to thinks that Zarqawi is a martyr. One taxi driver frankly told me that one should not rejoice over Zarqawi's death, for one simple reason: Americans and Iraqis are happy about it.”
