how to title this?

Colin had been callously used to promote a war she wished had never happened, They needed him to do it . . . because they knew people would believe him.


Alma Powell

It is no secret that a large number of Americans and many others around the world have had their views swayed by Colin Powell when he asked for the Guantanamo facility be closed. Immediately. That very afternoon he was speaking.

He calls the Iraq War a civil war that the US should pull out as soon as possible without further de-stablising the current situation.

Had he ran for Presidency in 2004, he would most probably have suffered the same fate as John Kerry.

It is a fine balance to be resolute and non-wavering in the face of adversity while remaining open to the ever changing information and knowledge that comes in drips and drabs from a complex situation that counts cultural, social, economics, politics, religion and ideological differences, each as an important factor.
