I knew that America would never invest the necessary funds or
energies in rehabilitation of its poor so long as adventures like
Vietnam continued to draw men and skills and money like some demonic
destructive suction tube. So I was increasingly compelled to see the war
as an enemy of the poor and to attack it as such.
Martin Luther King, Jr., "Beyond Vietnam," 1967
