Barack Obama’s speech before an audience of some 200,000 in Berlin was a
reactionary affirmation of Cold War anti-communism and an attempt to
promote the new framework for US imperialist militarism and aggression,
the so-called “global war on terror.”

And the following article:

“…
Once again, a US presidential election will take place in which the
broad antiwar sentiment of the population is ignored and the majority of
American people who oppose wars of aggression are disenfranchised.
Instead, voters will be confronted with two candidates—Barack Obama and
his Republican opponent John McCain—whose discernable foreign policy
differences reflect tactical disputes over US imperialist policy,
centering on where American military violence should be focused.
