IRAQ
IRAQ
Did we learn anything from the Vietnam War? April 4, 1967 at Riverside Church in New York City, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr gave a speech that is less well known than "I Have a Dream" -- but is much more powerful. The entire speech is below:

Thanks for the link to King's speech.
I understand that after he gave that speech, MLK was
dissinvited to the White House. J. Edgar Hoover stepped up
his surveillance of him as a result of it.This was brought up
by Cornel West on Bill Maher's 'RealTime' a few weeks back.
The discussion was centered on Rev. Wright's speech and
drew similarities with King's speech.
kwahlf, you might want to amend your...
post vis-a-vis Hoover. Herbert Hoover was the pretzeldent who sold apples and pencils from a tin cup on Pennsylvania Ave.
Elliot Mess of the untouchables claims that it was J. Edgar Hoover of the FBI who surveiled everybody including King.

The greatest derangement of the mind is to believe in something because one wishes it to be so.
Thanks, Grinch. ;-)
Sorry-my mistake-
That ' J. Edgar' makes all the difference in the world.
- this WAS a bad morning for me, eh?
Elliot Ness was correct according to this fine program
on History International two weeks ago.

First came Vietnam, then
First came Vietnam, then Iraq, now Iran lies directly in the crosshairs
By Michael Payne
Online Journal Contributing WriterApr 30, 2008History has a way of repeating itself but does anyone really pay any attention? First there was the horror of the Vietnam War that took the lives of more than 55,000 American troops and several million North and South Vietnamese. Did we as a nation learn anything from that bloody debacle? Apparently not much. Then shock and awe was brought down upon the nation of Iraq in March 2003 in what has been described as one of the worst foreign policy blunders in the history of America. This time, have we finally learned our lesson? Maybe not as Iran appears to be directly in the crosshairs of the perpetrators of endless war.America is now teetering on the brink of repeating the same mistakes once again as the Bush/Cheney administration appears to be bent on the initiation of another preemptive war in the Middle East and this time it is Iran that is being groomed as the next potential target.One definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.This saber rattling, the beating of the drums of war aimed directly at Iran now is heard continuously. Bush and Cheney make constant references to the threat that Iran poses. General Petraeus, commander of US forces in Iraq, and Ambassador Crocker were quite clear in accusing Iran of supporting the insurgency in Iraq. Senators "Holy Joe" Lieberman and Lindsey Graham, the fawning puppets of John McCain, are trying to make the case to label Iran and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as the reincarnation of Saddam Hussein and his evil empire. Will Iran and Ahmadinejad be the next problem that will be "addressed"? Is this déjà vu all over again, or what?http://onlinejournal.com/artman/publish/article_3231.shtml
