I have no objections to the wish for world peace and security and that all peoples be spared war. However, this cannot be expected merely because [a nation] arbitrarily defines "civilization" and assumes the posture of the world's policeman. The fundamental causes of war must be studied, and they must first be removed.

If the victorious nations unilaterally and arbitrarily decide that their way of thinking is the best, and force it on other nations and peoples, it will instead be a reason for future conflicts and wars. The circumstances after the First Great European War and today's world situation after the end of the Second World War are eloquent testimony to this.

It seems that George Washington would've appreciated Hideki Tojo more than he would've claimed any connection to the American leadership of the 20th and 21st centuries. A half century later, arrogant American leaders will "try" Saddam Hussein on even more spurious grounds, if such a thing is possible.

Sorry, I do not speak "私は実際に私達がよりよく準備されたときがそれをしたかもしれないことを結局太平洋の私達の興味を救うために私達が戦うことを行かなければならなかろうが私が考えることを考えるに私達."

Please translate that.
