The one man in the entire universe who could have stopped the invasion of Iraq was Colin Powell. I say that unequivocally and with deep conviction.
Had he refused to use his prestige and credibility to lie to the world at the UN, there would have been NO war. No one else in the Bush administration had the prestige and aura of honorablity that Powell carried with him (deservedly or not)...and no one else could have pulled it off.
Had he possessed an iota of morality and defied the warmongers, hundreds of thousands of people might be alive today. No....they WOULD be alive today.
Had he even resigned after the invasion as we pleaded, and denounced his performances as the lies and theatrical fabrications they were, the war would not have escalated and the nation would have understood how that had been deceived. Moreover, the 2004 election would have been an utter defeat for George Bush.
As it was, Colin Powell chose to join the cabal. Coming out today with his recognition of the 'civil war' on the ground in Iraq is both ironic and disgusting. Too little, too late, and meaningless all around.
For a reminder of his lies:

For the plea we made, with the help of thousands around the nation:
AN OPEN LETTER TO SEC. of STATE, COLIN POWELL: PLEASE RESIGN

The blood of our soldiers, and the coalition, and the civilians is on his hands. Butn in hell, Colin. Burn in hell.
