Martin Luther King Jr. was one of the greatest speaker and clergyman in USA history. He led the African - Americans to a pinnacle of eager for the race equality and civil right. One of his most famous speech was  " I have a dream", which effected me a lot on my opinion in the human rights icon of the social conflicts in modern time. In this paragraph, I think his intelligent have been shown by his persuasive idea, his detailed data, and his influential words.
   First of  all,  his persuasive idea is his strongest " weapon" to win other's heart. For this paragraph, his idea is in the Vietnam war, the biggest loser would not be USA or Vietnam government, but the people who have no money and no statue in both countries, the rich and powerful men would use money or power to buy their own safety, and people would remember them as "Generous philanthropist" or " Great commander". On the front-line of battle filed, most soldiers who sacrificed were the poor men. It is pretty hard, at least for me, to think about this question in the situation that no war surrounding me and I don't have to worry about my next meal.In the war government is using poor to kill poor , I think that is unmoral. Ditto this paragraph's idea let me consider a lot.
  Secondly the detailed data is also a nice way to persuade others. The TV shows about the war, the life of people in Southwest Georgia and East Harlem, and the desperate angry young men  who talked with him, are all the evidences to show that USA should stop the war, and the  Molotov cocktails and rifles would not solve their problems. those data are persuasive, because it was true, it was the situation in USA at 1960s, people would believe what he said by believing his data.That was the reason he always can has a successful speech.  
  Lastly, influential words like violence of the oppressed, cruel manipulation, and demonic destructive suction tube. These words are negative words in a positive speech, they can potently point to the same idea: "I was increasingly compelled to see the war as an enemy of the poor and to attack it as such.  "He also compared Southeast Asia with southwest Georgia, because both of them are in the position of poor people area in the south, which can let me obviously realize the life in Vietnam.
  Martin Luther King Jr. was a genius speaker, his talent on use persuasive idea, use detailed data, and use influential words. These three means all point to his mean idea-----war is an enemy of the poor, Molotov cocktails and rifles would not solve their problems.
