If they fail to agree, a council of military and security officials, supreme court chiefs and heads of the two assemblies will put in power the person whose name has been secretly written by the sultan in a sealed letter.

Oh, man, I'm gonna be a sultan. You guys are gonna be sooo jealous...

I've been to Oman a couple of times; Muscat and Salalah. Beautiful country. Not ostentatious like Dubai. It was small and quiet, yet the size of California.

I do recall the Omanis being the genuinely nicest people I had ever met. They're Muslims, sure, but of a flavor of Islam peculiar only to Oman.

I lived in Oman in the late seventies working in the oilfields there. Sultan Qaboos was a good and moral Sultan of Oman. He loved his nation and all his actions were for the good his nation. He was also a total ally of the USA but it was done quietly. He was a stabilizing force in that region of unrest.

I hope his successor is an equal of Sultan Qaboos. He will be missed. He was a good man a very good man!
