If Pakistani member want to bring past with present so can talk about 1971 ................... so by this logic what Bangladeshi think about you
That is a convenient black hole in their history,
Which was filled with "Blame it all in India".
Anyway
Lets face facts here 70 years ago ,
Germans were Fighting about the eternity of the Western world.
US and Soviet Union were allies.
Germany occupied France
Japanese planes were diving into American carriers.
The Americans had just nuked two cites in Japan.
Now its 2010
Germany is a integral part of NATO and the West.
The USSR and US fought the most dangerous war in History , which ended in the dissolution of the Soviet Union
France and Germany are the Pillars of the EU
Japan is the 2nd largest Economy and shares good relation with The US. So much so that they play the US favourite pass time Base ball.
All that in less than a century.
Yet here we are with the OP digging up 200 year old history and then trying to link it to Modern day politics.
