Neutrality is a negative word. It is a word that does not express what America ought to feel. America has a heart, and that heart throbs with all sorts of intense sympathies... We are not trying to keep out of trouble we are trying to preserve the foundations upon which peace can be rebuilt.
Woodrow Wilson
