Excellent, Nicole, one of the best commentaries I've read, lately. Thanks.
Mets, I did hear that about Prince Charles. I think it was on NPR. I found this dated Dec. 20 30, 2002:
Prince Charles has dropped plans to visit the United States because the White House, apparently unhappy with his views on Iraq, signalled he would not be welcome, The Mail on Sunday reported.
In a front-page report, it said "senior figures in the Bush Administration" had indicated it would be "very unhelpful" for the trip to proceed due to the prince's reported concern that a war would lead to a dangerous rift between the West and the Muslim world.
He had been "politely informed that his views ... might not go down well".
