○  英语演讲稿：the great silent majority  ○

hieved.  honest and patriotic citizens disagree with the plan for peace i have chosen.

in san francisco a few weeks ago, i saw demonstrators carrying signs reading, “lost in vietnam, bring the boys home.”

well, one of the strengths of our free society is that any american has as right to reach that conclusion and to advocate that point of view.

but as president of the united states, i would be untrue to my oath of office to be dictated by the minority who hold that point of view and who try to impose it on the nation by mounting demonstrations in the street.

for almost 200 years, the policy of this nation has been under our constitution by those leaders in the congress and the white house elected by all the people.

if a vocal minority, however fervent its cause, prevails over reason and the will of the majority, this nation has no future as a free society.

and now i would like to address a word, if i may, to the young people of this nation who are particularly concerned, and i understand why they are concerned about this war.      

i respect your idealism. i share your concern for peace.&nb
