Powell quiets the crowd
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:
“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.
Good show, Colin Powell. |
