Grave of the Fireflies
Most interesting with this Anime about the young boy Seita and his little sister Setsuko is, that the stories you can hear from the older people in Germany are so very similar to this story from Japan:
the rain of bombs from hell with the unquenchable phosphor fire, the fighter planes flying close to the ground strafing everything that moves, and the hunger, the terrible hunger, because food had become so scarce and more precious than any other possessions.
And the hell of fire-bombing so many people experienced during WWII, was visited upon the people of Gaza just a year ago. And right now similar bombs, paid for by American and European tax-payers, fall upon the people of Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia and Yemen, and soon it might be on Iran and Sudan.

But the Bush administration asserted the state secrets doctrine for the purpose of making it effectively impossible for courts to review the matter.”
“… the apparent willingness of the Obama administration’s Justice Department to carry further that same argument in federal court. It is of great concern.” – Marc Rotenberg of the Electronic Privacy Information Center
“Maybe the law isn’t about right or wrong. The concept that the government lied to the Supreme Court seemed to me a terrible thing to do. It appears that the justices were not as appalled as I was.” – Plaintiff Judy Palya Loether
