On Saturday, labour unionists, pacifists, environmentalists and students marched through central Tokyo, yelling slogans and calling for an end to the U.S. troop presence in Japan (from the Daily Mail).
After the war, the leniency of the American occupation amazed the Japanese populace. That, combined with Marshall Aid, enabled their country to rise from the ashes.
Ditto most of Europe.
What short memories people have got!
In the event of another war, I know who I would want on my side.
And no - it isn't those sanctimonius, hand-wringing labour unionists, pacifists, environmentalists and students.
God bless America.
