You may be right. I am not sure where I heard it. Some time back I did
hear the speech Roosevelt gave to congress right after the Pearl Harbor
attack. You usually only hear excerpts. It seems like that after he
asked for a declaration of war right at the end of the speech he made
the statement about fearing nothing but fear itself. I might be thinking
of something else though. It is not like I just recently heard that speech.

I don't remember it that way. I thought that the speech had to do with
economics. But I'm not sure of that.

If I recall correctly, he made that speech about the only thing we have to
fear is fear itself upon announcing the Pearl Harbor attack and so as an
announcement of the U.S. entry into World War II.

Hi Miriam,
Most disturbing heer. I wonder how many of the other
candidates for
president would support this nonsense. They even would go
after someone who
is "at risk of radicalization?" What the heck does that mean
and where do we
draw the line.
FDR was so right when he said that the only thing we have to
fear is fear
itself. He meant that in an economic sense given the
Depression, but I think
it can also be used in a foreign policy sense. That is, the
fear of future
attacks makes us do horrible things like the internment
camps for the
Japanese during World War II, the patriot Act, drone
strikes, rendition,
etc.
