Powell Quote

When attending a fairly large conference in England, Colin Powell was 
asked by the Archbishop of Canterbury if our plans for Iraq were just an 
example of empire building by George Bush.

He answered by saying that, "Over the years, the United States has sent 
many of its fine young men and women into great peril to fight for 
freedom beyond our borders.  The only amount of land we have ever asked 
for in return is enough to bury those that did not return."


It became very quiet in the room.
