Use the following steps to identify and analyze the alternatives presented in the passages. PASSAGE A:
"My thought is of America... This great country of ours...should show herself in this time of peculiar trial of a Notion fit beyond other to exhibit the fine poise of undisturbed judgement, the dignity of self-control, the efficiency of dispassionate (unemotional) action; a nation that neither sits in judgement upon others nor is disturbed in her own counsels and which keeps herself fit and free to do what is honest and disinterested and truly serviceable for the peace of the world."
Woodrow Wilson, Appeal for Neutrality, August 19, 1914

PASSAGE B:
"Our true course should be to judge each nation on its conduct, unhesitatingly to antagonize every nation that does ill at the point it does it. And equally without hesitation to act..
One of the greatest of international duties ought to be the protection of small, highly civilized, well-behaved and self respecting states from oppression and conquest by their powerful military neighbors...
I feel in the strongest way that we should have interfered, at least to the extent of the most emphatic diplomatic protest and at the very outset-and then by whatever further action was necessary-(when Germany invaded Belgium)".
Theodore Roosevelt, America and the World War, 1915
