I agree with Steve. The difference between Japan and Afghanistan is that Japan was a nation where EVERYBODY had been conditioned to be in a war-like mentality. Some historians have described it as shared temporary insanity. The atom bomb showed them the error of that policy.
That's the most retardulous load of crap I ever heard.
Grow a fucking brain and then grow some hair.
Has there been anything to suggest that Afghanistan is similar to Japan? From what I am to understand, the area is highly factionalized.
This is almost as ridiculous. Middle Eastern countries tend to have even more of a hive mind than you claim Japan did.
