POWELL DISPATCHED TO MIDWEST St. Louis, MO - (GPS) - Secretary of State Colin Powell was dispatched to the Midwest earlier today to celebrate the longstanding peace in the region. "One hundred and fifty years ago, people were killing people in Missouri and Kansas, now they're not," said Powell. Powell said it's time someone recognized the large area where peace and prosperity have been enjoyed for over a century. "Too often we look at the troublespots. Let's look at the good news," he said. Powell said if a Missourian can sit down with a Kansan, if an Illini can sit down with a Oklahoman, then anything is possible. "There's a lesson here for all of us," he said. Earlier reports that Powell had been dispatched to the Mideast were erroneous. During the ceremony, Powell will present an award to fourteen-year-old Jemmy Herferman for his contest-winning essay, "Why People From Kansas and Those People From Missouri Should Get Along". |
