Which two sentences in this excerpt from Franklin D. Roosevelt's "Four Freedoms" speech suggest that going to war will result in a peaceful
political system?
The fourth is freedom from fear--which, 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 neighbor-anywhere 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 conception--the 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 change-in a perpetual peaceful revolution-a revolution which goes on
steadily, quietly adjusting itself to changing
conditions--without 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. Freedom means the supremacy of human rights everywhere. Our support goes to those who struggle to gain those rights or
keep them. Our strength is our unity of purpose. To that high concept there can be no end save victory.
