From that speech one sentence leapt out as particularly timely: "Let us not join those who shout war and through their misguided passions urge the United States to relinquish its participation in the United Nations."
And this one from a news link: "Now, therefore, I, George W. Bush, president of the United States ... do hereby proclaim Monday, January 19, 2004, as the Martin Luther King..."
As the saying goes "Hypocrisy is the tribute vice pays to virtue."
That speech of Martin Luther King is worth reading and pondering over.
