KING ABDULLAH II:

I think very secure.

I mean, I think you have to be confident in what you are trying to achieve. We've had, as you said, demonstrations for actually just over a year. And I think we're the only country definitely in the region — and when you look across the world, we're the only country in 2011, with all the demonstrations that we've had, that there was no single loss of life.

And that, I think, talks about the attitude of how we are moving with the reform process, tremendous pride I have with the security services that really took a lot of hard hits to make sure that citizens are protected. And, today, we have a road map. We will have elections, municipal and national this year.

There was a lot of requests by those in opposition to change the way that Jordan does business. They wanted to change the constitution. And, actually, a third of the constitution has been ratified. The most — two important things are constitutional accord, and for the election process and for, I think, the democratic process of political parties, an independent commission for elections that then allows the government to step way back and have nothing to do with elections.
