Colin Powell on making a case for war with Iraq at the United Nations

About Michaela

I am a wanderer and a wonderer, like you are. I love our journey and to walk in the company of friends – to learn, experience, share, laugh, cry and above all I simply love this marvelous, magical, mysterious life. I have no plan (cannot believe I am saying this) and my only intention is to be truthful to myself and others.

“What happens, changes what happens next”
Sir Karl Popper

There is always in the ‘moment of choice’ the knowledge that that moment is the result of and influenced by previous choices. One can only do ones best in all humility. It seems to me that General Powell may be one of the few who came through this mess, a better man than he was before.

Yes, his statements, particularly his admission of regret about his role in committing to the war against Iraq, and his action in giving his support to Obama, after a thoughtful assessment of both sides, confirmed for me that he is a man of integrity
