Sorry it’s not the population that doubles, it’s something else that has to do with birth rates but I can’t quite remember that piece of info, I heard it long time ago…

About the last pick: did you know that the population of Jordan doubles every 17 years? Plaestine every 19 years… It’s pretty funny when you compare it to Russia: every 250 years! It’s pretty understandable, especially given that the poorer the family, the bigger. Why? They have much leisure time, nothing to do, it’s free, no taxes, no nothing, and as Salma Al-Masri said in that play: أصلا ما عاد في حرية غير في هالشغلة

Good news about the drop in fertility rates. When I was in Salt I was surprised to see some really well-equipped gyecology clinics funded by USAID.

Thank you Nas for posting the Article by Robert Fisk,I listened to this story while I was driving to work on KPFA Radio the question is when are we going to stop those morons in the airport play with people lives,if the king and the queen of Jordan are reading your blog they must do something about what is happening to those innocent Iraqis and Iam really ashamed to call my self Jordanian right now.

The robert fisk piece is a must read. I wonder, do any of our “officials” bother to search for jordan news on google?
