Por que no te callas, US-style.

Several classic smackdowns in defense of the USA here, but this is my favorite. ‘When in England at a 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, “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’ve been a Powell fan since I read his bio ten years ago, in spite of the fact that we don’t have much in common politically.
