Wolfgang: Which brings us to 2 truly important events which, had we learned from history, would show us the way to a people is through constructive ideas and not subjugation. Lincoln knew it after the Civil War, MacArthur (with all his faults) knew it re: the Japanese, and, finally, the Berlin Airlift and Marshall Plan to re-construct the former enemies and hope for peace.   All positive and constructive actions that created a feeling of better (I won't say good) will.

          I think if we were to recall this history it might help in today's sad situation---in the Middle East.
