“The most ultimately righteous of all wars is a war with savages, though it is apt to be also the most terrible and inhuman. The rude, fierce settler who drives the savage from the land lays all civilized mankind under a debt to him. ...[I]t is of incalculable importance that America, Australia, and Siberia should pass out of the hands of their red, black, and yellow aboriginal owners, and become the heritage of the dominant world races.” WorldShouldWarHandsAmericaBlackRaceLandMankindTerribleRedImportanceLaysDebtAustraliaOwnersCivilizedHeritageYellowRighteousFierceSavagesDominantRudeInhumanAboriginalSettlersSiberia Author:Theodore Roosevelt
