Hi Dave,


I received that quote a few days ago, and it looked too pat for the
description.

The best source I found for it was from Powell's remarks earlier this
year at
the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland January 26, 2003

http://www.state.gov/secretary/rm/2003/16869.htm

The quote is there (almost verbatim), about 3/4 of the way dow the page
. . .
(search for the words "enough ground to bury them" to locate it)


"We have gone forth from our shores repeatedly over the last hundred
years and we¹ve done this as recently as the last year in Afghanistan
and put wonderful young men and women at risk, many of whom have lost
their lives, and we have asked for nothing except enough ground to bury
them in, and otherwise we have returned home to seek our own, you know,
to seek our own lives in peace, to live our own lives in peace. But
there comes a time when soft power or talking with evil will not work
where, unfortunately, hard power is the only thing that works. "
