Greetings Visionaires -
As a subscriber on the 3rd Infantry Division's Alumni listserve, I received
an interesting story:
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.
I believe that this pretty much says it all.
Take care,
Tom Hansen
Moscow, Idaho
