The electricity always works and the trains are great. Even allowing for the devastation Japan suffered during the war-it still accomplished more in 5 years than the Iraqis will in 50. Comparing Iraq and Japan is comparing apples and oranges. Japan always had the capacity to improve itself-I'm not holding my breath that the Iraqis ever will.

Some of them even appear to like it. Can you confirm that for us, seeing as how you're over there? Hey Skip, I hear that American troops are still in Japan after all these years.

Oh yea I forgot that part. American troops get to stay and stay for the next five years. That's the part that does not make sense. Except when you consider the seed corn they are dealing with-then it all makes perfect sense. Better numbers equal American troops returning home? Oh yea I forgot that part.
