WOW!!! I have been reading this thread for awhile now, and it seems almost all of us have same thoughts, about Hamzah, KA, QR and QN. I, myself, feel that a grave injustice has been done to Hamzah (that being my idealist side).
But we live in a real world, and like some one on this thread said, the nature of Middle Eastern monarchies is much different from those of their European counterparts. It might be a BIG issue in the European monarchies as they have already had most of their power struggles and, at present, don't hold the kind of power, KA and other Middle Eastern royal families do. They have the money, the position, and the most important--power. KA, in this case, just used his power. What's so disgusting about that? This is happened millions of times before in other countries around the world and will continue to happen, at least, in the Middle East (it being the unstable region) for some time in the future.
it would be nice if we all wrote to Hamzah's office , he must be so upset, he has been working so hard .... he did not deserve what his brother, can we call him a brother, did to him- I taped a song in English from JTV- that was in Feb '99- the song sang like that- make your father proud of you- is KH so proud of his eldest son, now -? KA told Hamzah, in the famous article from NY Times- if you will not make our uncle's mistakes, there will be no trouble- of course, Hamzah did not make any mistakes, he even, and that was wrong, pushed his own mother aside in order to please his King ....
