Japan? Well, no thanks to MacArthur, I'm sure. What an amazingly arrogant bastard! And as I recall the various Japanese cartels survived the war pretty much intact. We didn't even ask for reparations. Well, I'm all over the map on this one. Happy to have the Japanese recover from a devastating war, but still angry that they initiated the war in the first place, causing so much death and desctruction to so many people in Southeast Asia, not to mention our own losses.

Well, one thing I'm convinced of is that reconstruction of a Post-Saddam Iraq will not be easy. And with the Bush Administration in charge "recovery" will be a mockery.

Cheerily,
