This is from a Army captain stationed in DC.

Subject: Bravo!

To nobody's surprise there were protestors today in DC, they attempted
to disrupt the metro system and block the Key Bridge, a leading artery into DC from Northern Virginia.
I got hosed twice because I come in from NoVA on the metro and it is raining hard which makes traffic worse anyway...to the point--
I got off my train in Rosslyn because I had to use the bathroom. When I was getting back on the train, there were protestors on the train platform handing out pamphlets on the evils of America. I politely declined to take one. An elderly woman was behind me getting off the
escalator and a young (20ish) female protestor offered her a pamphlet, which she politely declined.
The young protestor put her hand
on the old woman's shoulder as a guesture of friendship and in a very
soft voice said, "Ma'am, don't you
care about the children of Iraq?" The old woman looked up at her and said,
"Honey, my first husband died in France during World War II so you could have the right to stand here and bad mouth your country. And if you touch me again, I'll stick this umbrella up your *ss
and open it."

I'm glad to report that loud applause broke out among the onlookers and the young protestor was at a total loss for words.

Rarely is there a diplomatic squelch as exquisite as this. Clearly, Colin Powell has a finesse that all diplomats would do well to emulate.

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.
