○  英语演讲稿：the great silent majority  ○

sp; i want peace as much as you do. there are powerful personal reasons i want to end this war.  this week i will have to sign 83 letters to mothers, fathers, wives and loved ones of men who have given their lives for america in vietnam.

it is very little satisfaction to me that this is only one-third as many letters as i signed the first week in office.  there is nothing i want more than to see the day come when i do not have to write any of those letters.

i want to end the war to save the lives of those brave young men in vietnam. i want to end it in a way which will increase the chance that their younger brothers and their sons will not have to fight in some future vietnam some place in the world.

and i want to end the war for another reason. i want to end it so that the energy and dedication of you, our young people, now too often directed into bitter hatred against those responsible for the war, can be turned to the great challenges of peace, a better life for all americans, a better life for all people on this earth.

i have chosen a plan for peace. i believe it will succeed. if it does not succeed, what the critics say now won’t matter. or if it does succeed, what the critics say now won’t matter.  if it does not succeed, anything i say then won’t matter.
