Is anyone else as shocked as I am? Prince Harry will be heading to Iraq soon. I can only imagine the hue and cry in the UK should he die there. It’s an astounding thing for him to do and I applaud him for following his beliefs so strongly. He obviously does not have to go but he apparently wants to. Stupid but honorable. Hopefully he will survive the experience and be able to push for non lethal interactions in the future. It’s probably a good thing all around. If he dies, the British will push even more for an end to the conflict. Should he live, he’ll be able to share his experience. More of us (me included) could use a better understanding of the daily brutalities of war.

God bless us. Everyone.
