blair is too busy licking american asses.
prince william is too busy partying with his pretty girlfriend.
I love this country no matter what, but I would never send many of my kids out to war. Come on! if your a soldier, your going to ask for death arn't you? you are out there to kill and be killed.
we are the stupid ones to allow our young kids at the age of 18 to join the army.
if the poloticians want war they should go and they should send thier kids. But I suppose we are the servernt of these pooticians.
polotics of war think "
"hang on why should I send my blood and my kids when there are enough servants in this country with less value to thier lives who are worthy of going out to war being slautered. send the servants blood to war. who cares it's not my being lost at the end of the day."

Why don't we send Paris Hilton over there while we're at it? I don't honestly think Tony Blair or Prince Charles are going to make a whole lot of difference if they go to Iraq. I understand your point, but sending guys like that would probably only make matters worse. As for sending a couple of princes to do battle, thank you - no. The Bush daughters? Yeah, that's going to do a lot of good.
I say we start thinking about sending our kids BACK and not which ones should be going to war. As far as I can see, there's really not much left to do in Iraq except police and I think the Iraqi people need to start policing themselves.

People make their own decision to join the army and go out and fight. In this day and age no one is forced into doing so.
If someone as famous as Tony Blair, Prince Charles or William was out fighting, chances are they would be kidnapped and held to ransom. Do you really think the leaders of this country would let someone like that be killed as a hostage?! And by paying for their release it would be unfair to all the other ordinary people held hostage and allowed to be killed. Not to mention the fact that it would be a win for whichever group had held and killed them.
Even if they weren't kidnapped, the security needed to prevent this would be extremely expensive and a huge waste of money for one person who doesn't need to be there in the first place.
Leaders of the country need to do exactly that, lead people, plan and run the country. Soldiers that choose to go and fight have made that career choice and know the risks. They must trust their leaders to make the right judgments.

Well, Blair didn't choose to join the Army and neither did Prince William (Prince Harry did though, so don't see why he shouldn't be over there).
If your son or daughter has enrolled then they have done so of their own free will, it's the career they have chosen. I can understand why you must be terribly worried, but presumably you knew this was a possibility when they signed up - it is kind of the whole point of the Armed Forces.

well tony blair and prince charles are too old anyway so they probably wouldn't be allowed to go. However harry is going to be in afghanistan soon so you can't say the royal family aren't doing there bit.
Tony Blair can't really make his own children join the army now can he, its their own choice if they want to but i'm sure he would support them if one of his children was to join the army and go off to Iraq.
Plus its quite hard to lead a country while fighting in a war at the same time

Nobody forces our young men to join the armed forces but, when they do, it is (and always has been) their duty to go wherever they are sent. The purpose of a soldier is to be able to kill effectively and therefore he is used in dangerous places and often suffers the terrible consequences. If a young man doesn't want to run the risk of being shot then he sould consider a career in, maybe, politics like...oh, Tony Blair. The royal family should not be used in such conflicts as they should be seen to be apolitical and this war, particularly, is a politica hot potato.

Although I understand that you are making a sarcastic point, as an old warrior let me tell you something. Sending such high profile people into combat areas just creates a lot of logistical and security problems for the military. It is not worth risking soldiers lives for political propaganda.
I applaude your leaders for wisely deciding not to showboat.

Prince Harry was prepared to but a decision outside of his hands was made that his presence would create a target and put his fellow troops in danger.

Prince Harry wasn,t allowed to go - it would have made his fellow troops more of a target. TRANSLATION - there's no way any of US are possibly going to be put in danger - that's what you poor people are for - we make the decisions and get the money; you get to die (but it doesn't really matter to us 'cos theres lots more of you)
If THEY had to face danger, do you really think there'd be any wars for oil?

Gone are the days when the leader of the country would be at the forefront of the battle... It's just the way of the world, the leader must be in a position to continue to lead, and would put so many other lives at danger should he be amongst his comrades in enemy territory.
