Read this excerpt from the conclusion of Elie Wiesel's The Perils of
Indifference speech:
Does it mean that we have learned from the past? Does it
mean that society has changed? Has the human being
become less indifferent and more human? Have we really
learned from our experiences? Are we less insensitive to
the plight of victims of ethnic cleansing and other forms of
injustices in places near and far? Is today's justified
intervention in Kosovo, led by you, Mr. President, a lasting
warning that never again will the deportation, the
terrorization of children and their parents, be allowed
anywhere in the world? Will it discourage other dictators in
other lands to do the same?

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.
