Britain's Prince Harry sits in his Spartan armored vehicle in the desert on February 19, 2008.
He apologized.
That should be enough.
It could be simply 'military chatter' or there might be an underlying concern Harry is working over. The attacks in London not very long ago were carried out by terrorists trained in Pakistan. That is a known fact. Now, India has evidence of the terrorist attack in Mumbai originating from Pakistan.
There is a reality rarely discussed and some of that reality has to be playing on the Prince's nerves from time to time. The reality is the ISI of Pakistan and its long history of 'undetermined purpose.'
India is right to some extent and if Musharraf were still in power there would be more reason for India to go to war, however, there are 'elements' within the ISI that are free-lancing aid to terrorists. I would not be surprised if there were terrorists operating within the ISI. The problem has been entrenched for decades and India is just about at its 'wits end' with the nonsense that exists within Pakistan's 'intelligence' infrastructure.
The political arm of Pakistan's government has never been able to cleanse itself of the corruption that lies within the ISI simply because they operate nearly autonomously within the country simply because they are armed. It would be the same as if there was a subculture whereby the FBI and CIA were to govern themselves outside the hierarchy of authority. Pakistan has a small nightmare within its 'power structure.'
I would not be surprised if, at times, the goodly Prince would simply like to end the 'diplomacy' and bring an end to the speculation of what occurs in Pakistan. I admire his commitment to his country and his determination to rise in rank within the military infrastructure, but, Harry is a Prince of England and with that comes a different reality. Perhaps it is time he join the rest of his family in caring for the country in a way that serves it best in diplomatic efforts rather than donning military gear to protect and defend.
It can't be easy to be Harry.
