Senator Edward Kennedy aka Ted Kennedy has passed away after a successful life full of achievements for his country. Ted was the real last prince of the American royal family , in fact it seems that with 
Ted Kennedy may not be remembered in our part of the world , in Egypt in particular like his eldest brother the original first beloved American president in Egypt whom Salah Jehan mourned in a poem nor he would be remembered like Robert Kennedy who was assassinated by a Palestinian yet he opposed the war on Iraq , among very few in the Senate.
What makes me interested in Ted Kennedy is how much he contributed to the American life from his seat , the lion of the senate character is needed so much in Egypt , he was not a president despite he once tried to be yet he made huge changes in his country through his position because he fully understood what his role was unlike our honorable members of Parliament and Shura council.
I look to Ted Kennedy and then I look to MPs like Ahmed Ezz and Shawky El-Said !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No comment of course because in the end of the day Ted won in a democratic vote !! Our current system does not allow having men like him but rather men like Ahmed Ezz.

ReplyDeletewhen jfk won the 1960 election ted was only 28 and couldn't take his brother's seat so they gave it to a 'family friend' until ted turned the legal age of becoming a US senator. that seat has been held by the family since the early 1950's..........maybe suliman might do the same for our beloved jimmy!
we lost a lion indeed!
