MAKE THE WORLD SAFE FOR DEMOCRACY
17-01-2025These words are from U.S. President Woodrow Wilson in his message to Congress on April 2, 1917 with which he seeked a Declaration of War against the German Empire, "in order that the world be made safe for democracy". As he wrote in the message: "Our motive will not be revenge or the victorious assertion of the physical might of the nation, but only the vindication of right, of human right, of which we are only a single champion....Our object now..is vindicate the principles of peace and justice in the life of the world as against selfish and autocratic power....its peace must be planted upon the tested foundations of political liberty." The full text of his message is attached to this item.
Will that purpose of US policy come to an end on January 20, 2025 with the inauguration of Donald Trump as U.S President?? That is what he promised and prepared for.
If so, without continuing the American purpose for more than a century, to make the world safe for democracy, the United States will no longer be a major world power in the twenty-first century. Multi-billion olicharchs are no peacemakers as we should have learned from Vladimir Putin's terror regime.

Footprints of the 20th Century - Third EditionDescription
The story of European Unification is fascinating. In 1950, two sworn enemies – France and Germany – decide to seek reconciliation and European federal unity. As a first step, they created the European Coal and Steel Community together with Italy and the Benelux countries. The fathers of this new Europe were visionary persons. Does today`s student or scholar still know who Robert Schuman, Konrad Adenauer, Alcide de Gasperi or Willem Beyen were and what they stood for?
