Martin Luther King day

Today, January 19th, Is Martin Luther King's birthday, A Great day to celebrate a great man. Tomorrow, the 20th is the inauguration of the next U.S. President, Barak Obama. For some reason, the fact that these two dates fall next to each other, and also because they are both black men, Obama is being compared to Dr. King. This comparison couldn't be further from the truth. Martin Luther King was AGAINST the Vietnam War AND Americas Foreign Policy; On the other hand, Obama wants to increase the War in Afghanistan and build larger the Military Industrial Complex. This simple fact alone is enough to erase ANY comparison's of these two men. In my opinion Dr. King would NOT be for an Expansion of the Militarization of the United States, nor would he be in favor of a troop surge into this war. The historic inauguration of a black man to the office of President, does NOT elevate Obama to the Level of Dr. King!
