Read this excerpt from "not a dove, but no longer a hawk." despite these misgivings, i do not see how we can do anything but continue to prosecute the war. we can and should limit the violence and the suffering being inflicted on the civilians as much as possible, but for whatever reasons, successive administrations in washington have carried the commitment in vietnam to the point where it would be very difficult to prevent any precipitate retreat from degenerating into a rout. if the united states were to disengage from vietnam under adverse conditions, i believe that the resulting political and psychological shockwaves might undermine our entire position in southeast asia. which statement best describes the paradox in this excerpt? the author acknowledges that civilians should not suffer, but states that the civilians must retreat. the author suggests that the administrators in washington are busy making polices while overlooking the need to end the war. the author acknowledges that the violence should stop, but admits that a retreat might have dire consequences. the author suggests that the vietnamese people are counting on us support, though their political ideals are not democratic.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
