the United Nations. He not only lied to the UN, he lied to us all. He was so credible, until then, that no one dared to argue with his assessment, and Powell knew that what he was presenting was a lie.

RIP, but in my book he cannot be celebrated, he missed a chance of a lifetime, to prevent a war based on a lie, avoid the chaos, the human suffering, the deaths, and a cost of trillions of dollars that could have paid for Universal Healthcare, Free Education all around, infrastructure, etc. etc. How can a person let go of that opportunity, and instead sale a lie that he knew would cause so much grief?
