I clapped when I heard that. I've never heard someone echo my thoughts the way he did.
I don't know too much about him, apart from the fact he has something to do with Barack Obama, and apparently this guy could make Obama lose the election, although I can't see why.
Opinion is opinion, after all.

You clapped? Would you be clapping if Australia did it instead? Countless numbers of American lives were spared by the use of those bombs, including many blacks. He is preaching dissent by making blanket statements about war and government. Anger and gospel do not go hand in hand, sans exorcisms.
War is hell, and just because the loss of life of the Japanese during those two bombings was sudden does not mean they are valued any more or less than soldiers who die over years of war. The fact remians, American lives were spared at the expense of Japanese lives, that's war.
I would recommend you read more about Reverend Wright before you decide to tell people that his thoughts echo yours.
Just
my opinion...
