We Dare Not Tempt Them With Weakness. For Only When Our Arms Are Sufficient
Beyond Doubt Can We Be Certain Beyond Doubt That They Will Never Be Employed.
We dare not tempt them with weakness. For only when our arms are sufficient
beyond doubt can we be certain beyond doubt that they will never be employed."
-- John Fitzgerald Kennedy (1917-1963), (from his Inaugural Address)
Let the world go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe
alike hat the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans,
born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter
peace, proud of our ancient heritage, and unwilling to witness or
permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this nation
has always been committed, and to which we are committed today, at
home and around the world!...
