Hmm.... well, I suppose the answer to that is that the Japanese culture and their religion has held no inherant hatred of the west like that of the middle easterners have. Now, of course I'm not talking about everyone over there, but the extremists of their kind have truly held on and nurtured a severe hatred of all non-muslims for a long long time now.
That's a significant difference right there.
Obviously my comment was more for show than anything, you do realize that, right? :D
US prisoners should always be treated humanely, that's the example this side of the ocean needs to set for the world.
