An impressively strong speech by Obama back in 2002, opposing the war in Iraq before it started.  This speech gives us an insight into what he felt were the motivations behind it and his ideas for alternative battle.  A surprisingly frank and unpolitically correct message.  Notice the use of repetition, a frequent tool of his and one that can be effective in driving home one's arguments.
