No, the OP didn't. What I'm saying is that I can't share the OP's love of the speech because my feelings on Keeler color how I view the speech even though I agree with the the speech.

Again, though, is it fair to judge Edith as though she knew as much about what was going on in the war (the atrocities being committed) as we do today?

Her speech was made in 1930 or 1931, years before she could have known there would be a war.

That's a good point -- I just checked the episode script and it would have been 1930 when the episode took place. And given that Edith lived through the aftermath and horrific loss of life caused by WWI and the 1918 flu pandemic, not to mention the recent Depression, it's not surprising that she's a pacifist.
