A time to break the silence

I thought this was an okay speech to read. It was mainly about the war in Vietnam. King starts by talking about the importance of Vietnam. He gives seven reasons as to why he is bringing up Vietnam in his "moral vision". The next section is called Strange Liberators. I agree with King when he said that America is influenced by western arrogance. We are trying to help France gain back Vietnam when they declared independence, even though we had done the same from England. He gives five steps on how to end the war to "atone for our sins and errors". I agree that the war should have ended a lot earlier than it did. We shouldn't have been involved to begin with. The next section is called protesting the war. He said that the people should continue to show that they are against the war. I think that people showing that they are against the decision of the government will influence the government highly, so they change their minds. The last section is called the people are important. He says that nations have to do what they need to in order to protect their own individual societies. I agree with this because I think you should do what is best for your own country. We shouldn't have to worry about what is going on in other places, and worry about ourselves.
