2.  “Let no man or woman thoughtlessly or falsely talk of America sending its armies to European fields… This nation will remain a neutral nation, but I cannot ask that every American remain neutral in thought as well. Even a neutral has a right to take account of facts. Even a neutral cannot be asked to close his mind or his conscience…I have said not once, but many times, that I have seen war and I hate war …As long as it is in my power to prevent, there will be no blackout of peace in the United States ” – FDR 1939
