More World Economic Forum

Jay Nordlinger has more dispatches from the World Economic Forum, which normally meets in Davos but, since the Iraq War, also meets in Jordan. Here is the third installment, with links to the first two. I always find these fascinating and entertaining. Example:

Speaking of Israelis: There are relatively few at this conference (particularly considering that it is a powwow on the Middle East, and we're a stone's throw away from Israel). (Perhaps "stone's throw away" is not the right expression to use.) But there are some Israelis here, so that was enough for certain Jordanian MPs — members of parliament — to boycott. It's their funeral.
