Nobody Said It Would Be Easy
- The British are working hard to fight the Axis powers, and America's future—as well as our ability to stay out of the war—depends on our allies winning that fight.
- Best way to avoid going to war? Do whatever's necessary to support the countries trying to defend themselves against the Axis, rather than accept the bad guys have won and wait for them to make it over to the U.S.
- All the options are risky, but helping the Europeans without actively joining the fight involves the least amount of risk.
- The Europeans aren't asking for American muscle. They're asking for planes, tanks, guns, freights—all the implements of war. Giving them these things might spare American children from dealing with the hardships of war.
