Barack Obama - October 26th, 2002

Nearly 7 years ago to date, Barack Obama stood up at an anti war rally in Chicago and spoke these words...

I don’t oppose all wars. [...] What I am opposed to is a dumb war. What I am opposed to is a rash war. What I am opposed to is the cynical attempt by Richard Perle and Paul Wolfowitz and other arm-chair, weekend warriors in this Administration to shove their own ideological agendas down our throats, irrespective of the costs in lives lost and in hardships borne.
