A few decades later, for Tokyo, Japan, and America, MacArthur's wish came true:

“Today the guns are silent. A great tragedy has ended. A great victory has been won. The skies no longer rain death, the seas bear only commerce, men everywhere walk upright in the sunlight."

See some remarkable comparison photos -- the city of Tokyo leveled after a firebombing and completely rebuilt.

Drill down on the photos to see full-screen images including several before and shots of scenes in the same location.
