I am not opposed to all wars, What I am opposed to is a dumb war. A rash war. A war based not on reason but on passion, not on principle but on politics.— Barack Obama

Yeah, he’s walking a tightrope. He has to convince people that his position on Iraq is not evidence of what his position on Iran would be. I don’t envy the guy. I may end up voting for him myself, though. Weird election this time around.
PS-He’s even trying to SOUND like JFK now, isn’t he? That little snippet you put up has the same rhetorical flourishes.
and that’s exactly why this person will not win! He thinks (or at least shows that he does) rationally…
Obama was too kind: “it’s a war based not on principle but on profit…” for the right people. And an endless war at that, a device of social control of which Orwell so strikingly wrote.

Even if elected, I’m afraid Obama will be assassinated–an expedient not unique to the U.S.
