If you had been in the ruins of, say, London in 1945, or Berlin, and you had said, "Sixty years from now, this is going to be the most peaceful, prosperous part of the planet," people would have thought you were certifiably insane.
Si vous aviez été dans les ruines de, disons, Londres en 1945, ou Berlin, et si vous aviez dit, "Dans soixante ans cet endroit sera le plus paisible, le plus prospère de la planète," les gens auraient pensé que vous étiez un fou avéré.
