Well, I for one will not criticize a young adult for a slight error in 
conduct.  After all, certain (current) office holders in the United 
States of America were completely forgiven in the media.  The same 
individual was held in high esteem in the most recent election for 
"youthful (unquestioned) indiscretions".   I never have quite figured 
out why the media/press in Great Britain is so "hung up" on the Royal 
Family, and why most accounts of the story fail to mention the fact that 
Prince Harry was attending a social (not a family/royal, political, or 
national policy making) function.  It was a costume party.  I find it 
difficult that he was be "tarred and feathered" for wearing a costume to 
a costume party.  If he would have worn a Nixon mask, would the press 
chastised him as being a "bad Republican?"  It must really suck being 
placed under the microscope at birth, like the Kennedy family, where you 
must conform or risk every breath of life being analyzed.

OPINION ON:

I, for one, would rather have a personal explanation (now that no 
Weapons of Mass Destruction have been found in Iraq) why we went to  
King George's War, why 1357 members of the armed forces have died, and 
exactly how the United States has no exit strategy from the occupation 
of a country that does not necessarily want us.  Why does this war on 
terror look more and more like Vietnam every day?  Even to the extent 
that "W" decided to not serve in Vietnam, but places others in harm's 
way for the sake of keeping Middle East Oil flowing to the world.

OPINION OFF

Do the people of Great Britain believe he was actually thinking of 
becoming a Nazi?

Are you thinking of abolishing the tabloids?  (rhymes with hemorrhoids)
