1. AGAINST THE IRAQ WAR 　　 　　（Applause） Good afternoon. Let me begin by saying that although this has been billed as an anti-war rally, I stand before you as someone who is not opposed to war in all circumstances. The Civil War was one of the bloodiest in history, and yet it was only through the crucible of the sword, the sacrifice of multitudes, that we could begin to perfect this union and drive the scourge of slavery from our soil. 　　I don’t oppose all wars. My grandfather signed up for a war the day after Pearl Harbor was bombed, fought in Patton’s army. He saw the dead and dying across the fields of Europe; he heard the stories of fellow troops who first entered Auschwitz and Treblinka. He fought in the name of a larger freedom, part of that arsenal of democracy that triumphed over evil，and he did not fight in vain. 　　I don’t oppose all wars. After September 11th, after witnessing the carnage and destruction, the dust and the tears, I supported this Administration’s pledge to hunt down and root out those who would slaughter innocents in the name of intolerance, and I would willingly take up arms myself to prevent such a tragedy from happening again.（Applause） 　　 　　1. 反对伊拉克战争 　　[2002年10月2日，布什总统与美国国会联合宣布，就批准“伊拉克战争的共同决议案”达成一致。当日中午，“芝加哥反伊战争”组织在芝加哥联邦大厦组织集会，由时任伊利诺伊州参议员的奥巴马发表反战演说，猛烈抨击布什政府这场“愚蠢的战争、轻率的战争”！] 　　 　　（掌声）下午好！我首先要说的是，尽管这次集会被宣传为一次反战集会，但站在你们面前发言的我，并非一个反对所有战争的人。美国南北内战的血腥在历史上是数一数二的，但只有历经刀光剑影的战争熔炼，无数生命的流血牺牲，我们才开始踏上完善联邦的征途，并将万恶的奴隶制度从我们的国土上一举铲除。 　　我并不反对所有的战争！珍珠港遇袭后的第二天，我的外祖父就入伍参军，在巴顿将军麾下服役。他目睹了欧洲战场遍地是死者和垂死的生灵；他听闻了兄弟部队初入奥斯威辛和特雷布林卡集中营时的惨状。他是为了争取更广泛的自由而战，这种自由作为民主的一部分，最终战胜了邪恶。他浴血奋战的努力并没有白费。 　　我并不反对所有的战争！在9.11事件之后，在我亲眼见证了血腥和毁灭，烟尘和泪水之后，我支持政府追剿并根除那些以不能容忍之名屠杀无辜生命的刽子手们。而且，我自己也愿意拿起武器防止此类悲剧再次发生。（掌声） 　　 　　I don’t oppose all wars. And I know that in this crowd today, there is no shortage of patriots, or of patriotism. What I am opposed to is a dumb war. What I am opposed to is a rash war. （Applause） What I am opposed to is the cynical attempt by Richard Perle and Paul Wolfow
