Colin Powell quote...
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 that, "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.

Well, pardon while I get graphic for a moment, the men and women who died to help those countries, will eventually become fossil fuel. So, the way I see it, we are entitled to some of their oil anyway. æç
