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.
Powell answered by saying, "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".
You could have heard a pin drop.
