Prince Harry spared!

He's the spare in the "heir and the spare" and he has been spared from serving in Iraq. Prince Harry, third in line to the British throne, wanted to go and was planning to go. But specific threats against him would not only endanger his life, but those in his unit and those who are charged with protecting him.
It's a good call by the British military. I'm sure there are other things Harry can do like join President Carter is calling for an end to the discriminatory Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy in the U.S. In Britain, the thought of a gay soldier is not a big deal at all.
Nor should it be.
