After the rigours of Gordonstoun, the privations of Afghanistan would be a doddle for Prince Charles. British royalty is less spoiled than the average Big Mac-gobbling Delta Force sissy who can't fly a helicopter on a bad night. Andrew could fly the helicopters for Charles. royal.gov.uk I think Charles might be more comfortable in an Afghan tent than in full livery. <I'd go with Prince Charles. Looks good in Afghan garb, needs hands-on experience running a country, no danger of settling in permanently, long tradition of British involvement in region, polo experience great for playing Afghan national game of fighting over a dead goat on horseback.> Good call. Elizabeth seems settled in for another 20 years [or more the way the Queen Mother is going] and Charles needs something useful to do. I think the Afghans would think him a jolly fine fellow to get them through the first few years. Mqurice
