Default A Feud at the top?

http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id...onid=351020205

Photos of Dubai's ruler and his sons have been taken off billboards across the UAE, fueling speculation of a rift within the family.

Family photos of Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum and his two sons Rashid and Hamdan have been replaced by pictures portraying the emir alone.
This "rumour" of injury has been going around for a while now, maybe it's not a rumour after all...

I saw a lovely one of the three of them yestarday - it had a caption on it too "Our Visonary Leaders - Congratulations!" I like that kind of attitude.

hehe - I also like the outraged comments to that article.

Why does the second son become heir to the throne and not the first?

Because Rashid have been dragging the Maktoum name in the mud on a number of occasions while Hamdan is actually trying to make things work.

Rashid is United fan as well, we can´t have that...

Hamdan can read as well!

Have you guys watched the movie Syriana? True life in the UAE is getting very similar...two feuding sons battling for power.
