G'Day All --

As you are well aware, there are significant variations between the war in Vietnam and the current war in Iraq -- involving substantially different adversaries, ideology, tactics, geopolitical implications, etc.

We know the views that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. came to hold with regard to Vietnam. However, we cannot be certain what he might have thought about Iraq.

The maker of the following presentation obviously thinks Dr. King's position on both wars would have been the similar. Whether that is true is a matter you are obviously able to sort out for yourself.

Two versions are provided, so you can determine which one plays best on your system. Sound capability is necessary. The one with an "swf" suffix gives full-screen presentation, but normally requires a high speed connection:

From a different web site, "Peace Takes Courage," here's a short animation on the subject of poverty:
