Colin Powell Quote

When in England at a fairly large conference, 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.
