"Summing up this need of looking ahead, I hope we will have few American ostriches in our midst. It is not goodd for the ultimate health of ostriches to bury their heads in the sand. Only an ostrich would look upon these wars through the eyes of cynicism or ridicule." - Mr Roosevelt in his message to Congress.
