I read Senator Barak Obama's 2002 Remarks Against Going to War with Iraq; and I re-read it several times. I am struck that his comments were made nearly 6 years ago yet the content of this speech is still relevant. Senator Barack's response to this war "a rash war" speaks to me still today.

"Let's fight to wean ourselves off Middle East oil, through an energy policy that doesn't simply serve the interests of Exxon and Mobil. Those are the battles that we need to fight. Those are the battles that we willingly join. The battles against ignorance and intolerance. Corruption and greed. Poverty and despair."

Thank you Brenda for putting this event together to encourage everyone to read this speech. I encourage everyone to participate in "100 Speeches in 100 Days"
