No, he's a role-model for all British subjects, (includes canada and australia) running amock over thar in the desert killing folks.

But Bush, he's real bad.

retired with 2 oz of lead behind the left ear would be better.

Think far better use of a bullet would be on your head.

Sad but true .... it also seems the China model will out compete the corrupt western pocket lining democratic models

Is that Harold in the pics? Is he trying to surf aboard a Talabani? Doesn't he know "Mohammed don't surf!"?

It's sometimes alleged, but not necessarily by me, that neither of Harry's parents were born into the royal family.

Just for the record, Sir, I have the same contempt for any political leader who interferes in the affairs of other countries and sends people to their deaths for his own personal gain. That includes, therefore, Bush, his friends in government, Blair, Bin Laden and others. In case you aren't clear about what Bin Laden wants, it's personal power in Saudi Arabia - in the name of Allah of course. Bush is about oil, his friends aren't particular how they make their billions and Blair is getting his payoff now with well paid non-jobs - in the name of Christianity, if you remember the speeches.

Harry is a victim of the British Establishment, as is his brother. I had high hopes that he might continue his mother's work in shaking the foundations of the royal family because, as some say, he's not one of them. However, I fear that it's not to be. Don't be fooled, very few Brits see him in uniform as a role model. He's now the typical product of a privileged upbringing and that's not popular these days. Shame, a wasted opportunity. He really could be a good role model for young people if he were his own man.

Lets face it, if only for PR purposes, the universal chorus of approbation and contempt for Bush, Cheney and their ilk would be somewhat tempered if we were to see one single one of their Offspring or close family serving in Iraq, rather than milking the cash cow that their Daddy created whilst other young men are sent off to be part of the statistics.

There is something to be said for 'Leadership by example' you know. Harry, who as far as I'm concerned is just another bloke, but who happened to be born to Privilege (not unlike Dubya), was only pulled out of Iraq because his presence there was outed by the Press.

The same goes for Blair and his grasping family.

Um ... afghanistan ...

and not till after he killed 30 of 'em.

^ Whoops. I'd better not criticise Amerkins for lack of geographical knowledge anymore.

You failed to mention that Harry killed them with his bare hands.

I thought he used a tea cup?
