| | I feel our devotion belongs to our country, America, first -- at least, if the playing field is level, if their war is as bad as ours. But in this case, that of World War I, the atrocities of the enemy were so vile that the act of going to war was more righteous than not going to war. If our strength had been less than theirs, I would not be so sure as to whether it was worth it to go. The idea is, first to avoid war until the benefit to the world strongly outweighs the benefit to ourselves. And second, to find the scenerio with the least bloodshed once we've gone to war. With these principles, I feel is easier to determine when to go to war, which, in 1917, was a good decision. | | I feel our devotion belongs to our country, America, first -- at least, if the playing field is level, if their war is as bad as ours.
