“I believe our people would welcome any action on the part of the United States to put an end to the terrible state of things existing there (in Cuba)... We can stop, it in my judgment, by pursuing a proper diplomacy and offering our good offices. Let it be once understood that we mean to stop the horrible state of things in Cuba and it will be stopped. The great power of the United States, if it is once invoke and uplifted, is capable of greater things than that.”

-Henry Cabot Lodge, 1898
