The Kings Named ‘Abdullah Club Gets Together

I can't resist this photo from the Jordan Times website, which I think is all the currently reigning King ‘Abdullahs (‘Abdullah II of Jordan and ‘Abdullah of Saudi Arabia) seeming to be communing well despite that little Saudi-Hashemite feud back in the day (Hashemite ‘Abdullah's great-great-grandfather was driven from Mecca by Saudi ‘Abdullah's father in 1924, which also tells you something about generational issues). No other comment here, really.
