   "Let's not go there."   
   ---- Colin Powell, War Criminal and disgraced U.S. Secy of State; in   
   testimony before the House International Relations Committee in response   
   to Bush being absent without leave from service and duty during the   
   Vietnam War; now contradicting himself and flip-flopping on principles he   
   apparently does not hold deeply.

   The world is too dangerous to live in---not because of the people   
   who do evil, but because of the people who sit and let it happen."
