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.
