In Japan and Germany, the more significant thing was that they were completely defeated, which erased the source of the conflict, which was ambition to control territories outside of it's own borders. Once the source of the conflict was erased, the conflict was gone. The economic aid from the US made the post-war time a little easier on the defeated nations, but they would have survived without it. Joe, like after WWI? Germany was totally defeated then. Why can you not acknowledge that we learned from our mistakes? Why must you make your pet theory work no matter what? The key is not totally defeating the Germans and Japanese but insuring that they put in democratic gov'ts and helping them rebuild economically. My experience has been is that when you do the right thing, people get it and the good people step up. After WWI, the allies fukked over Germany, and Hitler was more than glad to step up. ted
