I agree 100%.
Wonderful comment.
And it put our wonderful alliance with Japan in a distinct historical context. We did our nest to preserve Japan and aid Japan in rebuilding after WWII.
Its a message also to Iran.They can have a brilliant future if they will only reach out and seize it.
| [Joking about past hatred between Japan and America] is a message also to Iran. They can have a brilliant future if they will only reach out and seize it. * * * Great point, Candor7. I had an 45-ish friend when I was stationed in Japan in my late 20s. His English was quite good (spent a couple years in America). He would tell jokes and so we would meet for breakfast at the club from time to time. He once told me, "If you're going to be beaten in war, it's best to get beat by the Americans." |
