    Who Do You Want Picking Up the Phone at 3am

    When it's time to decide whether we should bring World War III (or, more accurately, the new Crusades) fully into the open and start dropping bombs on Iran?

    The 72 year-old John "Let 'Em Rip" McCain?

    Hillary "I Was Fooled into Voting for the Iraq War by the Political Mastermind George W. Bush" Clinton?

    Or the only serious candidate who openly and vocally opposed the Iraq war right from the beginning?

    This year's election might be the most important of our generation. Stop the madness--don't vote for more of the same.

    Barack Obama '08
