Not talking and not understanding leads to situations like Iraq.
Ya gotta be dumb as a board to think that you can invade countries such as Iraq and Afghanistan, "conquer them", and leave behind a Germany or Japan.
BTW, why are there American troops still in Germany and Japan. To counter the Great Yellow Horde from the East, the godless communist from the other east, or simply to suck up money and tell 'em who won? 60 years later.
