I am grateful as an Ozzie for the help of the USA... if the Battle of the Coral Sea hadn't gone so well, us Ozzies running Oz now might not be so..... if things hadn't gone so well in The Battle of the Coral Sea, we might understand some of the pain of the original Oz inhabitants..... but then again, when conquered, (especially the spirited ones) get killed off. Do you know what I'm getting at? Good to have good allies, but we can all change for better or worse and need to understand from many levels.
