Idiot of the Week Number 2: Prince William

I decided to add Prince William to the list so he can share in the blame with his younger brother after it was revealed last week that Harry had worn a Nazi uniform to a fancy dress party. Not only did "Wills" attend the same party, he helped Harry choose the costume!



The "young and foolish" argument doesn't wash with me. Young men of the same age and younger are not only serving, they are dying in places like Iraq for the principles the Nazis opposed. Their great-great-grandfather gave up his German titles and cut off his German relatives who did not do the same because he wanted to distance himself from the Kaiser in pre-Nazi Germany. The present Queen's German relatives were not invited to her wedding to Prince Phillip following World War II. Neither were Prince Phillip's sisters, as they were married to German aristocrats.

Sometimes I wonder if being young, rich and privileged means you don't have to think. Let others do the thinking.
