- Actually, they had a 1,000 year plan if you care to read just a little
- grade-school history, and were hell-bent on achieving it through armed
- might.
-
- Like the Japanese, they ended up being bombed out of that idea of
- using armed might, and said thank you very much to the Americans for
- all that timely Marshall Plan aid and military protection instead.
-
- Comments have already been made on the vintage of German industry.

- All this is not intended to "win" an argument with you, Mr Friedman,
- merely to your edification and hopefully to the long term (600 year)
- viability and prosperity of Oracle Corporation, yes?
