Read the paragraph from "Wilson's War Message to Congress."

Neutrality is no longer feasible or desirable where the peace of the world is involved and the freedom of its peoples, and the menace to that peace and freedom lies in the existence of autocratic governments backed by organized force which is controlled wholly by their will, not by the will of their people. We have seen the last of neutrality in such circumstances.

Which statement best describes the main idea of the paragraph?

The peace of the world is based on the ability to remain neutral in the fight for freedom.
We have a responsibility to remain neutral and uphold the principles of freedom.
