When hectored by a former archbishop of Canterbury on this subject recently, he said: "We have gone forth from our shores repeatedly over the last 100 years . . . and put wonderful young men and women at risk, many of whom have lost their lives, and we have asked for nothing except enough ground to bury them in."

I am at once teared up over the beauty of that statement and blind with rage over those who are so stupid as to put us all in danger because they can't comprehend it.

11) North Korea is a greater threat and they have nuclear weapons. So we should go to war against N. Korea instead? Also, N. Korea insist on dealing only with the U.S. So, should we act unilaterally with N. Korea? Hopefully this will end up in the lap of the U.N. right after Iraq and we will all witness the impotence of the U.N. once again and we'll have to gather another coalition of the willing to resolve Dr. Il's ills. Although, I suspect we will be able to convince China, Russia, S.Korea and Japan to turn up the heat unless they want us to take care of it fortright.

Nice catch. Thanks for posting it.

Hegewisch Dupa, I share your sentiments about the Powell quote. So powerful, so eloquent. I would love to have seen the face of the Brit when he heard this.

BTW, are you a Polish grandpa?
