I have seen war. I have seen war on land and sea. I have seen blood running in the streets. I have seen men coughing out their gassed lungs. I have seen dead in the mud. I have seen cities destroyed. I have seen children starving. I have seen the agony of mothers and wives. I hate war.
— Franklin D. Roosevelt Modern
