amina1, i would have to say that the current king visits the us so much is precisely because King Hussein himself visited the us frequently. since it's creation, jordan has attempted to forge close ties with the west, be it britain or the united states. whether that has actually benefited jordanians is arguable. i don't really know what side to stand on. but i think the current king is just continuing a long-standing tradition.
