1:15:14
- Excuse me, sir.
- Yes?
1:15:17
Every minute we wait
works against us.
1:15:19
Now, Mr. Secretary.
1:15:20
Now is when we must send in
a first strike.
1:15:24
We don't go in
for sneak attacks.
1:15:27
We had that done to us
at Pearl Harbor.
1:15:29
And theJapanese
were right to do it.
1:15:32
From their point ofview,
we were their mortal enemy.
1:15:36
As long as we existed,
we were a deadly threat to them.
1:15:39
Their only mistake was that
they failed to finish us at the start...
1:15:42
and they paid for that mistake
at Hiroshima.
1:15:44
You're talking about
a different kind ofwar.
1:15:46
Exactly. This time,
we can finish what we start.
1:15:50
And ifwe act right now...
1:15:52
our casualties will be minimal.
1:15:54
Doyou know whatyou're saying?
1:16:00
Doyou believe that Communism
is not our mortal enemy?
1:16:04
You'rejustifying murder.
1:16:06
Yes, to keep from being murdered.
1:16:09
In the name ofwhat?
To preserve what?
1:16:12
Even ifwe do survive, what are we,
better than what we say they are?
1:16:17
What gives us the right to live, then?
1:16:19
What makes us worth surviving,
Groteschele?
1:16:21
That we are ruthless enough
to strike first?
1:16:23
Yes!
1:16:25
Those who can survive
are the only ones worth surviving.
1:16:30
Fighting foryour life
isn't the same as murder.
1:16:32
Where doyou draw the line
onceyou know what the enemy is?
1:16:35
How long would the Nazis
have kept it up...
1:16:37
ifeveryJew they came after
had met them with a gun in his hand?
1:16:40
But I learned from them, General Black.
Oh, I learned.
1:16:44
You learned too well, Professor.
1:16:47
You learned so well that now
there's no difference...
1:16:49
between you
and whatyou want to kill.
