Barak Obama's anti-war speech

From the article:

"I know that even a successful war against Iraq will require a US occupation of undetermined length, at undetermined cost, with undetermined consequences.I know that an invasion of Iraq without a clear rationale and without strong international support will only fan the flames of the Middle East.I am not opposed to all wars.I’m opposed to dumb wars".

I don't know a lot about this guy, but the man can make a good speech. If what he says isn't just empty promises, then I believe this man would make a good president.

A great quote from John C Dvorak "During the heyday of Napster and open free music sharing and trading, when million of people swapped songs, the CD business was booming.
