Might be a tragedy I hope not, with one of his mother enough

Published: Tuesday May 1,2007 by wetzvonplanken

I find the final decision to deploy Prince Harry in Iraq, quite inexplicable and irrational. First and foremost, the Government had announced that British troops would be withdrawn from Southern Iraq sometime this year. So why it is so necessary the presence of the third in line to the throne in a country, which is under increase violence, an endless butchery with hundreds of deaths every day in a civil war caused by the invasion in 2003. Why put in risk the live of other officers and soldiers just to “please” some “ultra patriots” in a war, which has nothing to do with British patriotism? I am afraid that this might cause a tragedy, which will involve not only his royal person but his comrades as well. It is impossible to understand the lack of common sense of the High Command and his own family; do they want a royal martyr? Wasn’t enough the tragic death of the Princess of Wales? I feel that we can just pray for Harry, imploring the protection of our Good Our Lord for him and his companions.
