  • I cannot help but wonder if there is a connection between
    Prince Harry's possibly being sent to Iraq, the very thought of which
    doubtless gives his security people hives, and the British prime minister's announcement that UK forces are soon to be reduced in that war zone?

    One certainly applauds Prince Harry's determination to go with his
    troop or squadron or whatever it is, and do the job for which he's been
    trained, but mercy Maud....! His presence would surely put everyone
    around him in danger. Don't you know the insurgents would simply love
    to either kill him outright or, even better, take him hostage and
    threaten to behead him unless their demands are met?

    ISTM Harry's participation over there would likely be more of a hindrance than a help.

  • I think you're right, Anne.  He'd be a tremendous target.  I don't see how he could be allowed to be in any danger for just the reasons you mention.
