Many today parallels in this Martin Luther King speech
*Sigh*: Why can't the wingnuts ever learn from history? I think its remarkable at how many parallels you can find in this Martin Luther King speech with what the rightwings are responsible for today -- its like they never learn.


(MLK Quoting a Buddhist leader): "Each day the war goes on the hatred increases in the heart of the Vietnamese and in the hearts of those of humanitarian instinct. The Americans are forcing even their friends into becoming their enemies. It is curious that the Americans, who calculate so carefully on the possibilities of military victory, do not realize that in the process they are incurring deep psychological and political defeat. The image of America will never again be the image of revolution, freedom, and democracy, but the image of violence and militarism."
