The best speech ever

Hi there,
I am about to offer you one of the best speeches ever.
It was delivered by the Jewish barber in "The Great Dictator", by Charles Chaplin. As you know, the film is a parody of Nazi Germany and Hitler, and it was produced in 1940, well before the world discovered  the atrocities that the nazis perpetrated.
It was the first talking picture by Chaplin, and it is interesting to see how modern and adequate the message is to the current events we are living. It is also interesting to appreciate the confidence that people in the first half of the century had on technology and machines.
Enjoy it! (click on Hynkel's moustache)
