I think Marg that the clock has perhaps turned full circle because both Japan and Germany have somewhat rocky economies these days. I lost a packet on the Tiger economy a few years ago and Germany hasn't recovered from bailing out the ex-communist half yet and doesn't look likely to for some time.

I would like to think that once the bombing was over, we did help the Germans. Someone mentioned the "eye for an eye" policy earlier (I think it was on this list). That is the Old Testament philosophy. I prefer the New Testament "turn the other cheek". And forgive thine enemeny 70 time seven, or whatever it is. If we don't have reconciliation, we may as well pack up altogether. You are right, Jim, they did bomb our chippie, and it's a pity it came to that because both Germany and Japan seem to be achieving their aims without any bombing these days - just by economic strength.

If you were to visit Germany, you wouldn't know their economy was shaky. I do believe that the German people were financially wealthier before, during and after the war.
