President Joe Biden told the nation Thursday that American leadership plays a vital role in holding the world together, in an echo of the closing days of World War II when President Franklin D. Roosevelt envisioned the US and other great powers acting to keep the peace. But the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East show the limits of that view.
It was the speech President Franklin D. Roosevelt never gave. In a radio address scheduled for April 13, 1945, the fourth-term president would have said, “If civilization is to survive, we must cultivate the science of human relationships — the ability of all peoples, of all kinds, to live together and work together, in the same world, at peace.
But what does that word even mean anymore?… What does ‘living’ mean for millions of Arabs and Muslims who call the United States home, burdened with the impossible task of proving their allegiance, over and over again, in response to bellowing demands that bury our humanity?” “It feels like we are living on borrowed time, like we were extended a contingent citizenship that can be stripped at any time, on account of events that unfold in America or on the other side of the world.
