And now we knew, we learned, we discovered that the
pentagon knew, the state department knew. and the
illustrious occupant of the white house then, who was a
great leader - and i say it with some anguish and pain,
because, today is exactly 54 years marking his death -
franklin delano roosevelt died on april the 12th, 1945. so
he is very much present to me and to us. no doubt, he was
a great leader. he mobilized the american people and the
world, going into battle, bringing hundreds and thousands
of valiant and brave soldiers in america to fight fascism, to
fight dictatorship, to fight hitler. and so many of the young
people fell in battle. and, nevertheless, his image in jewish
history - i must say it - his image in jewish history is
flawed.

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.
