We could not win in Vietnam or Afghanistan, no more wars please.
You cannot win a war with just guns, we cannot make people love us by killing them. We need to be strong and we need to be able to kill bad people, but at the same time we need to work on the things that bring lasting peace, and which prevent wars to begin with.
And in Japan, we went in and MacArthur wrote a whole new constitution for Japan, and we still have troops in Japan, we have troops in Germany too right now, and we totally rebuilt Germany.
If we went into Afghanistan and if we totally rebuilt their nation and if we brought in teachers and missionaries, and if we taught them business like the Japanese, the Japanese will work themselves to death, the Japanese love business, and if we remained in Afghanistan permanently, like in Japan, then we would have won in Afghanistan.
And now the Japanese own Sony Studios here in Hollywood, and we allow the Japanese to participate in our Entertainment Industry. When I worked at Universal it was owned by the Japanese.
Winning wars is about more than just weapons and killing people. We need teachers, and preachers, and business leaders, etc, etc, etc.
And the people of Afghanistan have never had a free Democratic Government, it was silly to try to expect them to do it all themselves, they needed teachers, and they needed helpers, they needed a great helper like MacArthur to help them, they needed high level educated people to guide and teach them, and for business leaders to go in and to employ them and to teach them business, etc.
And during times of peace we need to do things to expand the peace and to improve peaceful relations around the world.
On the issue of Russia, we need for the good people to take control of Russia, we have good friends and allies in Russia from the Ballet, and from Theatre, etc, we need for the good people to rise up and take control of Russia, and then we need to support the good people.
The same thing in Iran, we need to support Mahlagha Jaberi and others as they work to create a new and improved Iran with improved human rights, the revolution has already started in Iran.
We can win wars peacefully, if we are wise, and we can win their hearts and minds, and we can turn enemies into allies as we have done with the Germans and with the Japanese.
Salute,
Tony V.
