Which TWO!!!!! sentences in this excerpt from Franklin D. Rooseveltâs âFour Freedomsâ speech suggest that going to war will result in a peaceful political system?
The fourth is freedom from fearâwhich, translated into world terms, means a world-wide reduction of armaments to such a point and in such a thorough fashion that no nation will be in a position to commit an act of physical aggression against any neighborâanywhere in the world.
That is no vision of a distant millennium. It is a definite basis for a kind of world attainable in our own time and generation. That kind of world is the very antithesis of the so-called new order of tyranny which the dictators seek to create with the crash of a bomb.
To that new order we oppose the greater conceptionâthe moral order. A good society is able to face schemes of world domination and foreign revolutions alike without fear.
Since the beginning of our American history, we have been engaged in changeâin a perpetual peaceful revolutionâa revolution which goes on steadily, quietly adjusting itself to changing conditionsâwithout the concentration camp or the quick-lime in the ditch. The world order which we seek is the cooperation of free countries, working together in a friendly, civilized society.
This nation has placed its destiny in the hands and heads and hearts of its millions of free men and women; and its faith in freedom under the guidance of God.
