I received this from an English friend this morning: 

"Here for a conference, your Colin Powell was asked by the 
Archbishop of Canterbury if America's future plans for 
Iraq were just an example of empire building by George 
Bush. He answered, "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 reportedly became very 
quiet in the room.
