2:44:02
then these events
would have no more moral significance...
2:44:06
than an earthquake,
or any other natural catastrophe.
2:44:10
But this trial has shown...
2:44:13
that under a national crisis...
2:44:16
ordinary, even able and extraordinary men...
2:44:21
can delude themselves
into the commission of crimes...
2:44:25
so vast and heinous
that they beggar the imagination.
2:44:28
No one who has sat through the trial
can ever forget them.
2:44:32
Men sterilized because of political belief.
2:44:36
A mockery made of friendship and faith.
2:44:39
The murder of children.
2:44:42
How easily it can happen.
2:44:46
There are those in our own country, too...
2:44:48
who today speak
of the protection of country...
2:44:51
of survival.
2:44:53
A decision must be made
in the life of every nation...
2:44:56
at the very moment
when the grasp of the enemy is at its throat.
2:45:00
Then it seems that the only way to survive
is to use the means of the enemy...
2:45:04
to rest survival upon what is expedient,
to look the other way.
2:45:11
The answer to that is: Survival as what?
2:45:16
A country isn't a rock.
It's not an extension of one's self.
2:45:21
It's what it stands for.
2:45:23
It's what it stands for when standing
for something is the most difficult.
2:45:31
Before the people of the world...
2:45:34
let it now be noted...
2:45:37
that here in our decision,
this is what we stand for:
2:45:42
Justice...
2:45:44
truth...
2:45:47
and the value of a single human being.
