From Prince Andrew, critical words for U.S. on Iraq

"LONDON: While Prince Andrew declares himself a fan of the United States - and his cellphone ring tone comes from the American TV drama "24" - the man who is fourth in line to the British throne has some critical words for America's Iraq policy and thinks that Washington should have listened to advice from London.

In a rare Buckingham Palace interview ahead of his departure Tuesday for a 10-day U.S. trip to support British business, the prince described the United States as Britain's No. 1 ally but conceded that relations were in a trough. There are, he added, "occasions when people in the U.K. would wish that those in responsible positions in the U.S. might listen and learn from our experiences."

"occasions when people in the U.K. would wish that those in responsible positions in the U.S. might listen and learn from our experiences."

Right. Experiences like the American Revolution? War of 1812?

Or those great lessons to be learned in WWI and WWII: pray that the Americans get here and help us before we all have to learn German.

What the Prince fails to realize is that we learned from Britain's failures. The British are the ones who didn't.

Is he speaking of the experience England is having with Muslim immigrants?

Or is he speaking of how the Brits were thrown out of India-Pakistan. Colonialism?? Yeah they made every mistake in the book.

The Brit experience has been to go from a major power in the world to now being afraid of Muslims in their own country.

I sure hope it never gets that Bad here. Pretty soon the Church of England will be reading the Koran.
