The proposed stationing of Iraqi and Saudi Arabian troops in Jordan “to protect the country from Israel” is being looked upon in Britain with outright pessimism. “Any Arab ruler knows that it is a great deal easier to get someone else’s troops into his country than to get them out again,” the Times of London said in an editorial today, reflecting the British viewpoint on the Arab request to station foreign Arab troops in Jordan.
