Are we headed towards some kind of “Global Spring?” Maybe, says Time magazine:

While the demonstrators that have mobbed the streets of Amman for two weeks now are demanding the overthrown of King Abdullah β€” a criminal offense in Jordan β€” it’s not the demand for democracy that sparked their protests. Instead, thousands of Jordanians have been spurred to act by a more basic issue: the rising price of gas after the government withdrew its subsidies.

Jordanians are hardly alone in their anger.
