[James48843]

On April 30, 1967, Dr. Martin Luther King delivered a powerful sermon against the War in Vietnam.

"Why I Am Opposed to the War in Vietnam" was delivered at the Riverside Church in New York.

His words spoken in 1967, could easily be heard today, with a substitution of Vietnam with another far-off nation.

Listen to the words- and think about what they mean.

Yes, it was a different war, and it was a different time....

But the words of this great leader resonnate across the boundaries of time.

this---is history.

And is worth listening very carefully to.

This great American had a distinct character flaw. Not only was he a minister he was also an adulterator. He is on the same wash out level as JFK - niether of whom deserve any of my time as a Vietrnam Veteran. I earned my freedom of speech and I have no fear in stating my opinions.

Hey Brother,
Please know that every Vietnam Vet - I've talked to (which is a fairly large number) all agree with the story I'm able to put on my Thread when James and I go to DC to rattle things up.
