The Queen theoretically holds ultimate power in the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and several other places. She is the ultimate theoretical owner of all land and property in these countries, she is commander-in-chief of all their military forces and has the power to over-rule governments.
So it would follow that she is implicated in the decision (whether right or wrong) to go to war in Iraq by the fact that she did not intervene to stop the invasion.
Either that or she is purely a theoretical head of state who never intervenes, which proves that the monarchy is a complete waste of time and money!!!
The last time that the ultimate power of the monarch was exercised was during the second world war to requisition land for airfields and other military sites.

Hands of Madge and the gang!!!!
Whatever, in connection with my professional practice or not, in connection with it, I see or hear, in the life of men, which ought not to be spoken of abroad, I will not divulge, as reckoning that all such should be kept secret.
While I continue to keep this Oath unviolated, may it be granted to me to enjoy life and the practice of the art, respected by all men, in all times!
But should I trespass and violate this Oath, may the reverse be my lot!

You evil, dirty b*stard. How dare you? How DARE you spit on the graves of dead British soldiers? How DARE you spit on our flag like this? How, very, dare you!
By the way, I couldn’t give a toss about the Iraq war. Why would the Queen stop the invasion? Most people in Britain support the war.
Bunch of Islamic tossers deserve to be bombed to hell and back!
