yeah, he was a peace maker, no one can possibly argue about that with you. Ghandi was also a peace maker, but he didn't accomplish much if you take into account the troubles and perils that the world is currently going through. Neither of them could've stopped Bush in his Iraq rampage. Neither of them could've stopped South Korea from launching those long-range missels across the Pacific in an attempt to see if they could actually reach the US. (long range missels meant for destruction) One of those missels actually hit a couple of miles off of the coast of Japan. King of coarse, made a difference for African Americans, but if it hadn't been him to do it, someone else would've come along and done it. Peace makers don't live forever, their effort will be remembered, and they may make a difference, but they cannot possibly meet all of the worlds needs in its current condition, which escalades with the passing years, months, weeks, days.

No, what the world needed was Martin Luther the Reformer, Martin Luther King lied and cheated on his wife, and created a whole generation of welfare slugs.

Dr. King, himself was doing the right thing. The unfortunate part of history is how those around him like Jessie Jackson, et al. have perverted his message into a profit making machine and in effect subverted the very people Dr. King set out to help, simply so they can continue to make money from their poor conditions.

Yes, without him most people would not realize that blacks needed equal rights, and the world could be the same today without him

He focussed a zietgeist, but in a posative way. A different person could have quite easily have created a bloodbath at the time.

Sure. He would have been able to make peace with the terrorists.

He may have preached peace, but his "We shall overcome" is being taken the wrong way...The blacks take it as "we shall do violence to overcome"
