King Abdullah's plan for Democracy

I don't think king Abdullah II has a good chance of succeeding with his plan of transforming Jordan into a democratic government.  As we discussed in class and as most people have posted on their blogs, democracy is an impractical form of government to be used in a large society.  The primary reason for the outbreaks in the Middle Eastern countries is that they want political reform, and changing the constitution to satisfy the needs of the people will temporarily bring peace in his country, as the majority of the people agree on what issues their government has and how to resolve those issues.  But, over the long term, as issues arise  on which the people have a wide range of opinions, their ideas will clash and cause tensions within the government.
