I do not know why some of the families around the world that involved in politics insist in throwing their kids in to the hell of politics ,especially the doomed families like the Bhuttos in Pakistan. I understand their motives to include the family legacy in protecting and improving their nations' conditions not to mention how the people look to them as symbols and I also understand how the family legacy thing works in east in general is very important especially the political families , and the examples are many whether in countries like in India or Pakistan or in the Arab world but I do not understand that after all the tragedies that happened to them because of the politics and its conflicts how they decided to continue their quest in politics!!??
Take a look to the most fresh political cursed family "The Bhuttos" in Pakistan .
It was not a long time after the terrible assassination of Benazir Bhutto when her husband Asif Zardari announced that her son Bilawal "who is not a Bhutto" is going to lead the PPP in a surprising move,despite the facts he is still young "19 years old" , he is just starting study at Oxford of university and even when he finishes ,he will have to wait in order to gain experience enough to give him all the right to lead one of the important and biggest parties in Pakistan , and of course he is not a "Bhutto" , his real actual is Zardari,the son of Asif Zardari who had one hell of a record that was always chasing Benazir in her life from corruption charges .
All those facts were not obstacles ,his young age and the fact he is going to leave the country for study will be no problem as his father is going to lead the party with his son until the boy grows up and takes the full charge . The name is no problem as now Bilawal surname was changed to include his mom golden family name , now he is called officially : Bilawal Bhutto.
Good luck to him and his father and I wish that he would be sincere as the rest of his family still it was a surprise to me because all the indications showed other candidates including even Bilawal's cousin Fatimah Bhutto who is already outside the PPP to have a better chance than him , already all people in Pakistan now fear that the void of Benazir will be so big to be full with Bilawal.
Look what happened to his mother's family the Bhuttos : His grand father was executed, his first uncle Shahnawaz was killed ,his second uncle Murtaza was also killed and the mother of all tragedies in his family the assassination of his mother !!
I can understand what made Bilawal take this decision to enter the political arena, his mother's assassination in that awful way was enough to push to him in order to seek Revenge in his way. Still he signed a suicide certificate at the same time , this kid is a candidate for an awful assassination attempt . But on the other hand I feel that his father is using all the sympathy and love of the Pakistani people in order to win their support , it is great but he and his son must be at the expectations of the Pakistani people otherwise the accusations of using the people's sympathy and popularity of Benazir will be ready by their enemies .
By the way Shahnawaz's son is also a PPP member.
The real Bhutto member I respect is Sanam Bhutto is staying in London with her family and is staying away from politics and its curse.
Now once upon a time I saw Benazir speaking with Giezel Khoury on Al-Arabiya when she said that her family is just like the Kennedys ,cursed and doomed , well the woman was right but to tell you the truth I feel that they are more doomed than the Kennedys !!
