Maybe these outpourings of grief come as no surprise, but the echo here in Israel--the way people have gathered around radios to hear the developments, the statements of sympathy the politicians have made--reflects an uncommon respect among the Israeli people for this former enemy who had become a dear friend. King Hussein demonstrated...
