"Busting the door open" means breaking out from the poverty stricken life the two boys are living.

They are trapped in this community where poverty reigns, and they had not much to live by.

Explanation:

Andy Mulligan's Trash is a story of two trash-boys living a life of poverty but still filled with hope and determination to change their livelihood. Raphael and Gardo are the two main characters who had gone to their usual waste picking grounds to sort out the trash and if lucky, get a "special" bag.

Chapter 2 of the novel shows them discovering the "special" bag made of leather, containing an id, money and a folded map with a key in it. By saying "busting the door open", Raphael meant to imply that a certain source or "key" is all it takes to be away from the life of poverty they are living. This means that they can have access to the better side of life if they had certain things. But with their current condition of living amidst the trash picking community, they are trapped in this world of poverty, without the means to escape.

Answer from: Quest

the question concerns exactly this part of the speech:

i am not now thinking of the loss of property involved, immense and serious as that is, but only of the wanton and wholesale destruction of the lives of non-combatants, men, women, and children, engaged in pursuits which have always, even in the darkest periods of modern history, been deemed innocent and legitimate. property can be paid for; the lives of the peaceful and innocent people cannot be.

president wilson talks about the lives of people destroyed by german army. but these people are not americans, they are the local people living in europe. the president mentions the barbarity of germans, considering that he is not targeting the nation, instead it is said about german army. the correct answer is the last one.
