"…well, that and California, Florida, Arizona, New Mexico, Utah ..."

This is from the text of one of those really annoying"flag waving" e-mails that get passed around by the same people who send out those insipid christian morality tales and antocedendents that are trying there best to put an "O'Henry type twist on some moronic story of holy irony or redeption:
" 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." -- widely circulated e-mail.
