This explains the basis and foundation for America's strength and success through the years. Powell Quote
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 guess Williams should have said that empire is less about land ownership and more about control. Evercat 20:34, 7 Aug 2003 (UTC)

This article needs a lot of work. It is superficial and outdated; it refers to a couple of media storms in which Rowan Williams has been involved, but says nothing about the Jeffrey John affair, subsequent developments in the US and Canada in relation to the role of gay people in the church, and the Eames and Rochester reports. It says nothing at all about Williams' theological work, other than to record the unspecified objections of unnamed critics who regard him as unorthodox. Anyone like to have a go at improving this?
