U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell was speaking at the World Economic Forum in Switzerland. The former Archbishop or Canterbury asked whether plans for a war in Iraq was really an example of “empire building” and “hard power” by President George Bush. Powell answered that the U.S. has sent many young men and women to fight in foreign lands but has never asked for any more land than is enough in which to bury those who did not return.
So very true.
Not a huge Colin Powell fan, but he stated that, perfectly.
