And precisely why was he wrong?

We incinerated millions of innocents by firebombing Hamburg, Dresden, Tokyo, Kobe, and Osaka, then added millions more (once you consider those who died from cancer after the fact) by nuking Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and we have the stones to feign outrage over Reverend Wright's comments?

Wright delivered his most notorious sermon the Sunday after Sept. 11, 2001, when he suggested that the U.S. had brought on the attacks by committing its own acts of terrorism. "We bombed Hiroshima, we bombed Nagasaki, and we nuked far more than the thousands in New York and the Pentagon, and we never batted an eye," he said in the Sept. 16 service.
