is approaching departure for Iraq of Prince Harry, third in the royal succession to the throne of England. Among the news of delays to the threats of Al Qaeda, intent on capturing and show it as a "war trophy", the support of fellow soldiers who said they want to wear "red wig" in order to treat the identification and abduction, the pre-departure party, the British tabloids have collected a new chapter in the lucrative soap on the royal family. In addition, the prince will be included in its adventure iraquena dallla cameras, in a sort of Big Brother iraqueno, where to be appointed but they are only civilians in bombing raids.
Too bad the story of the prince who goes to war is far from a soap opera, but it fits very superficially in a context like that iraqueno, made up of thousands of civilian casualties, as well as military. The media coverage so the departure of the prince neglects to consider the everyday iraquena, made up of dozens of deaths and destruction, as daily life is far from being a scoop a news to sell. In addition, the scruples for the safety of the prince, and his presence in Iraq can only increase insecurity and danger to an army torturer and victim of a conflict-sac.
The Royal Family chooses so to get going against public opinion, whose opposition to the growing conflict iraqueno venture led to the resignation of Tony Blair.
But the worst aspect of the story that goes from the palace of the prince to war "to serve their country" with all the vagaries of contour gifts (or parts or leave the army, "said Harry), is that the media attention on Iraq has now reached the frivolous tone that characterize the events gifts. The final piece of a conflict right from the start, by the fall of Saddam Hussein's statue in Baghdad was taken flash of a great television commercial, aimed at selling a war based on economic and geostrategic interests. And like all the commercials, this one has been able to sell smoke, but to a country that is on fire every day.
