I wanted to share this audio. I had a moment earlier today listening to this. I guess I should have posted this on April 4, on the anniversary of MLK's death, but better late than never.
This speech speaks to all war. It made me cry when I listened to this. We haven't learned a damn thing.

Amazing speech...In addition to the parallels that can be drawn with the present war, one can also hear similarties in the substance and tone of the speech with the speech that Rev. Wright gave...
I agree. Unfortunately for Wright his delivery/media image paints him as "the angry black man". People weren't willing to get passed that to listen to what he was saying.
Now, I don't necessarily buy Wright's conspiratorial arguments (although I might be a conspiracy theorist in some respects), BUT I think I agree with what Wright and King were ultimately trying to get across - their disappointment with their country.
