If Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. were alive to experience the 50th anniversary commemoration of the March on Washington and his "I Have a Dream" speech on August 28. 2013, it leaves one to wonder what advice he might have for President Obama with regard to war and global conflict. Based on Dr. King's direct advocacy against war with both Presidents Kennedy and Johnson, and what he said in his sermon "Beyond Vietnam" on April 4, 1967 at Riverside Church, he would likely say to the President that we should seek to cease and avoid war at all costs, and that "the buck stops at the Oval Office."
