even a month after his inauguration, Woodrow Wilson petitioned to congress to declare war on Germany. Wilson’s change of heart was due to valuing the rights and voices of people worldwide over peace.

"The Mug." He replies in a monotone. Is he concentrating or annoyed with me? Probably both. And even with the awful mood I 'm in, I can 't help feeling a tiny cheer go on in my mind when he answered with that. At least we 're going there.
