From the speech:

For the best part of twenty years the youth of Britain and America have been taught that war was evil, which is true, and that it would never come again, which has been proved false. For the best part of twenty years, the youth of Germany, of Japan and Italy, have been taught that aggressive war is the noblest duty of the citizen and that it should be begun as soon as the necessary weapons and organization have been made.

That is a scenario that promises to play over and over again, with only the identities of the aggressors changing.

I stole your link for tomorrow's thread. I have the story about the speech but not the text.
