My Picture

"Peace, like war, can succeed only when there is a will to enforce it, and when there is available power to enforce it. The Council of the United Nations must have the power to act quickly and decisively to keep the peace by force, if necessary. A policeman would not be a very effective policeman if, when he saw a felon break into a house, he had to go to the Town Hall to issue a warrant before the felon could be arrested. So simple to mind it is clear that if the UN is to have any reality at all, our U.S. representative must be endowed in advance by the people themselves through their representatives in the Congress, with authority to act". -Franklin D. Roosevelt

THE UNITED NATIONS

"We set this nation up to make men free, and we did not confine our conception and purpose to America, and now we will make men free. The question upon which the whole future peace and policy of the world depends is this: Is the present war a struggle for a just peace, or for only a new balance of power? There must be, not a balance of power, but a community of power; not organized rivalries, but an organized peace".                                     -Woodrow Wilson

As the principal architects of the League and the UN, both Wilson and FDR rejected the old world balance of power machinations for the construction of a new world order based upon the rule of law, reason and altruism.
