RON CAMPBELL REPORTS FROM JAPAN:

I think most Japanese are happy that 1) it wasn’t them that this happened to and 2) their constitution makes it convenient for them as they don’t really have the option of getting involved in a war beyond their borders. There is a vocal minority opposed to the US’s prosecution of those directly and indirectly responsible but it is a minority. And it’s restricted to where you’d expect, college campuses and artsy coffee houses. The average Japanese gets the justified anger and understands how America plays out its role of enraged righteous avenger of justice. You piss off the Americans, they will lay waste to your land, people and government in a way that your mind can’t begin to comprehend but they’ll feel real bad about having to do it, They’ll make it up to you by funding your complete reconstruction and societal make-over, rehabilitating you back into the world community and positioning you to become an economic superpower assuming you follow their 12 step program for recovering nations. Sort of a Tony Robbins with teeth… or something.

Or something.
