The United States, as the world knows, will never start a war. We do not want a war; we do not now expect a war. This generation of Americans has already had enough, more than enough, of war and hate and oppression.
We shall be prepared, if others wish it. We shall be alert to try to stop it. But we shall also do our part to build a world of peace where the weak are safe and the strong are just. We are not helpless before that task or hopeless of its success. Confident and unafraid we must labor on, not towards a strategy of annihilation, but towards a strategy of peace.
