As Dodd's father's quote "the charge ‘a war for the Jews’ is still being made and in the post-war years it will be made again and again" shows, no such thing ever happened, except that Roosevelt was smeared for not jumping in early enough. That just shows you the elite always ends up writing the history books the way they want it</p> This just proves that the whole Walt & Mearsheimer thing will probably pass like a breeze.

The great wall in the history of the western world was not the Berlin Wall, but the Nuremberg trial. The post-war years will begin the day Nuremberg is voided and that will require the end of american hegemony. In the east the current japanese "constitution" will have to be erased and a new one, written by the japanese themselves will have to replace it. The post-war years will begin the day americans understand that only evil peoples demmand unconditional surrender, for that is the surest way to make wars eternal.</p> We are not yet living in "post-war years."
