I would hope so lol. I guess they're not talking so as to avoid any public/media scandals?

But I do remember an interview K. Abdullah gave to a CNN soon after stripping hamzah of his title, and he said something like "we have systems in place" to take care of things like that. Im assuming that means he has made provisions for such an event.
Does anyone know why P Hamzah was removed from that position?~*~Humera~*~ said:well I cant be too sure, it'd all be speculation.

But the fact that P. Hussein is accompanying his dad to official visits might be an indication that he's being groomed for the role.
Yes, I think he was extremely attractive! (He really looks like Hashem in the 2nd photo to me)polop said:Really?? He looks so good! No wonder he had 3 or 4 wives!!

Jordan's king warns deputies not to block reforms

AMMAN (Reuters) - Jordan's King Abdullah told conservative tribal deputies on Tuesday to put national interests above petty squabbling, comments officials said were a warning not to block Western-style reforms.
Officials said the king's rare attack on the group that has traditionally been the monarchy's staunchest supporter was meant to head off growing opposition to a programme of accelerated reforms planned by Prime Minister Adnan Badran's cabinet.
T-R-O-U-B-L-E said:GOd forbid. I think the king's eldest son is named CP by default,unless they have organized smthing else(it depends on the system they have),but in the constitution the eldest son of the King is the CP.
Roshanah said:No disrespect but King Abdullah is biting the hand that feeds him (metaphorically speaking.) If he alienates those whom form the basis of his support (unfortunately so) there mightn't be Al-Mamlukia Al-Urdania wa Al-Bini Hashimia (Hashemite Kingdon of Jordan.)
Nothing is wrong with reform so long as it doesn't rip the soul out of what makes such a place so wonderful.
My other point is that he could continue to make reforms as often as he liked. The problem (in certain places) has been due to his inability to meld both the traditional with the positive aspects of Modernity enough for many to know that Jordan helps every singel member of Jordan and not just those whom (not in sulting them) have the Kings favour thereby not needing to be concerned with poverty and so on.
KA was correct to highlight the problem with the UN which was the successor of the League of Nations. Th United Nations was hoped after it's foundation wouldn't make the mistakes of the past. Unfortunately they've made even worse one's. Nothing's wrong with Democracy so long as it isn't used as an excuse to either make an example out of a certain groups of people or to trample on them just because they disagree upon many points and do not (what has been said) co-operate.
The UN has made certain levels of progress, however unless the route of the matter which I feel is the perpensity to maintain the status quo of a Sovereign nation attacking those that are smaller in size than they or otherwise is dealt with peace will take longer to achieve.
Also there are some that beleive that enforcing their way of life upon others has been the means to achieve this aim. As history has show it has not.
I by no means criticise KA he is a man, whom indeed could make a possitive diffence within the World political stage. However the one's with a little more experience within such matter could really pull together to achieve a positive future.
Howeve it has become apparant that the only thing, which many politicians have been consumed with is perpetuating the need for an enemy farce.
Thereby trying to hold on to their positons.
Voltare said it best (although he wasn't the only one to have made this statement) Irrespective of time, place and circumstance, there are those whom among the Human race whom are endearing souls, however there are those who because of their efforts the world hasn't changed much. Dispite the efforts of those whom disire true peace and not tyrany under a guise.
Although I've stated my opinion and it is just that, I by no means force them upon anyone within this forum nor do I unsult or point the finger at anyone.
On a much happier note, good on KA for highlighting the matter at least he can say that he did, whereas there are others who couldn't. Keep up the good work KA!
