Read the following passage: I felt guilty for being born where I was born. For being on
the stronger side, because I knew we were using our
strength unfairly. We were no better than anyone else, yet
we acted like we were because we had more people on over
side and better technology. I knew it was wrong to take
land that had belonged to them, but I didn't know how to
stand up for what was right without putting myself at risk.
Eventually, I realized how much money I could make by
taking the land. I pushed aside my objections and took as
much land as I could.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
