I can't come as I have a stranglehold here

or

I have a lot of vehicles as obstacles so I may delay

The wait. Every second feels like ages. The constant honks of irritated drivers.  The multiple convergences of routes in which we all wait for the signal to glow. While the loud noise of anger people and the even more deafening noise machinery, building tirelessly. You can start to smell the propellant filling the air, this horrible smell that adds to the already awful day many people are having. Why are there signals here? To stop disasters; that happen anyway once people have enough of the waiting and decided to make a move, the wrong move. This is not the first time this haste hour happens, no, and we all know that it won't be the last either. We all have places to be and things to get done. Slowly people in the front get to go where they need to be, every vehicle starts to move forward. Is this the end of this forever seemingly wait? No, as soon as the vehicles move forward they stop. More vehicles go and more start to come this all happens throughout the day in these busy routes. One by one all the vehicles leave and all that is left is the sound of life.

Hope its good enough

explanation:

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.
