They refuse to call suicide bombers "terrorists"

These killers of little children are called "militants"




-Larry Lloyd


While in England recently at a fairly large conference, U.S.
Secretary of State Colin Powell was asked by the Archbishop of
Canterbury if our plans for Iraq were just an example of "empire
building" by President George Bush.  Secretary Powell answered the
Archbishop's question 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 suddenly became very quiet in the room.
