Theodore Roosevelt is a “genuine lover of peace” and does not believe war is necessary to “maintain the virile qualities.” However, he believes the professional pacifists have lost these qualities and are the “very worst enemies of real peace.” Lewis Einstein currently holds an interesting position at the American embassy in Istanbul and it must be a “sad spectacle” to view the failures of the Turkish revolution. Roosevelt had hoped that Turkey could transform and lead the Muslim community into the modern world. It appears they could not.

Theodore Roosevelt defends his peace plan that focuses on the United States being prepared to defend itself and its interests. Military strength should also be combined with righteousness and fair dealing. Roosevelt has been acting in the interests of the United States and wants other nations to be judged on their conduct. He is not for Great Britain or Germany nor is he against Great Britain or Germany. Roosevelt supports a nation when they are in the right and opposes them when they are in the wrong.
