The time has come for America to hear the truth about this tragic war.

Today, while driving around, we heard excerpts from several speeches by Martin Luther King Jr. Hearing his voice, his amazing oratory skills, was inspiring, but left us with a hollow feeling, too. Because we tried to think of a public speaker today who could write and deliver such eloquence and transcend his time. But, we came up blank. Some are saying that Barack Obama may be that person. Time will tell. At this point, I see him inspiring a lot of followers when he speaks, but I get this feeling that I've heard it before. It may be a message we need to hear today, but I'm not sure it is original or that any of his speeches will be written about 40 years from now. Yet when you read King's speech "Why I Am Opposed to the War in Vietnam" (from April 30, 1967, at the Riverside Church, New York) Or listen to it (below) it still resonates, and even casts a large shadow over today's Iraq War.
