King Abdulla II has named his eldest son, Prince Hussein, who is still attending the school to be the crown prince of the kingdom of Jordan. I have to say here that I do not find this step to be a good one.
Jordan is a country that is literally surrounded by problems from each single side, and yet, it may have a king who is still in school in case (and God forbids) King Abdulla passes away. I am not sure though if the law allows having a king under 18, apparently not, but even having a king who is 18 years old is not the right decision for such region (Middle East) if for any.
I really hope that King Hussein would reconsider his decision and keep this issue to be decided in correspondence to the future circumstances, because Jordan is important for all of us, or otherwise explain his decision because we all are his sons.

I am glad that the monarchy we have in Sweden is simply symbolic and has affect what so ever on the country, its politics or its economy.
