SCHAKOWSKY: UNITED STATES CAN
ASSERT ITS LEADERSHIP WITHOUT
THE TERRIBLE DESTRUCTION OF A PREEMPTIVE ALL-OUT WAR IN IRAQ

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Mr. Speaker, I came to the House floor because I felt that I needed to come down here and speak before this body about my opposition to the war that seems to be pending in Iraq.
I come to the floor today to say that war is not inevitable; that this great Nation, whose power and hegemony is not disputed, can assert its leadership without the terrible destruction of a preemptive all-out war.
