Which sentences in this excerpt from President Woodrow Wilson's speech "War Message" argue that offense is the best defense for
America in the face of German aggression? When I addressed the Congress on the 26th of February last, I thought that it would suffice to assert our neutral rights with arms, our right to use the seas against unlawful interference, our right to keep our people safe against unlawful violence. But armed neutrality, it now appears, is impracticable. Because submarines are in effect outlaws when used as the German submarines have been used against merchant shipping, it is impossible to defend ships against their attacks as the law of nations has assumed that merchantmen would defend themselves against privateers or cruisers, visible craft giving chase upon the open sea.
It is common prudence in such circumstances, grim necessity indeed, to endeavor to destroy them before they have shown their own intention. They must be dealt with upon sight, if dealt with at all. The German government denies the right of neutrals to use arms at all within the areas of the sea which it has proscribed, even in the defense of rights which no modern publicist has ever before questioned their right to defend. The intimation is conveyed that the armed guards which we have placed on our merchant ships will be treated as beyond the pale of law and subject to be dealt with as pirates would be.
Armed neutrality is ineffectual enough at best; in such circumstances and in the face of such pretensions it is worse than ineffectual: it is likely only to produce what it was meant to prevent; it is practically certain to draw us into the war without either the rights or the effectiveness of belligerents. There is one choice we cannot make, we are incapable of making: we will not choose the path of submission and suffer the most sacred rights of our nation and our people to be ignored or violated. The wrongs against which we now array ourselves are no common wrongs; they cut to the very roots of human life.
It is common prudence in such circumstances, grim necessity indeed, to endeavor to destroy them before they have shown their own intention. They must be dealt with upon sight, if dealt with at all. This is your answer
The sentence from this excerpt that stresses that America should take an offensive stand to defend themselves is:
"It is common prudence in such circumstances, grim necessity indeed, to endeavor to destroy them before they have shown their own intention. They must be dealt with upon sight, if dealt with at all."
Even though the United States wanted to maintain an armed neutrality, President Woodrow Wilson argued to change to an offensive strategy because German submarines were attacking merchant ships, and they were unable to protect them once they had been attacked. This is why Woodrow Wilson calls to destroy the German submarines before they could cause any damage.
Since the story mainly covers romance and love that is why Bernard and Lenina have some expectations with each other. Lenina wants Bernard to be quick and responsive in the relationship while Bernard on the other hand is very rationale. When Lenina asks Bernard to love her all the day and not wait for tomorrow, Bernard replies that 200 repetitive acts of romance from 1400 o clock to 16:30 o clock twice in a week without being rationale is not the correct way to love each other.
