With Jordan, it might not be a payoff, but payback that makes it a quiet member of the coalition. If the Bush vision for the post-Saddam Iraq is a constitutional monarchy with a Hashemite on the throne, sign up the Hashemites ruling Jordan. They remember that a Hashemite king was hanged in a 1958 coup that eventually brought Saddam's Baathist thugs to power. King Abdullah would love to see a member of the family back in Iraq, even in the sort of figurehead role envisioned for the returning king in Afghanistan.
