The Iraqi UN Ambassador asked Colin Powell, "Is it true that just half of one percent of American youth can find Iraq on a map?"

"It's true," was Powell's reply.

"Well that looks bad for American youth with their ignorance", said the Ambassador of Iraq.

Powell told him, "No it looks bad for Iraq." "How could that be bad for Iraq," asked the Ambassador?" Most of those half of a percent are U.S. Paratroopers".
