Prince Harry's faded dreams of glory

Seems that the British authorities have decided that one royal's life IS worth more than a common man's. Harry isn't going to be allowed to serve in Iraq because it might be dangerous for him.

Well, I mean, our President dodged the draft (as did most of his senior officials). I guess the illusion of equality under democracy has just taken another blow, this time in England. Here in the US, we have men who never went to war, wrapping themselves in a flag they could never have been bothered to defend, sending our sons and brothers (and nephews) to fight and die so that they can retire to massive profits in an oil industry that is poisoning the world and killing our children and grandchildren.

Beware. What profiteth a man...
