| #5 Evry time I hear about the death cultists(tm)dissing Japan, I cant help but think about the stories that grampa used to tell about WW II in the Pacific. I hope we haven't completely beaten it out of them. |

| #4 Notice that he was savagely murdered w/in days of his kidnapping, unlike the previous Japanese "hostages". Notice also that he was not produced in a pleading video. He probably refused to cooperate. God bless his soul. Initial reports were that he was travelling around the world and made an impulse decision in Jordan to cross the border for a few days, despite pleas from locals (not sure we can believe them). I've met a number of such lonely, young Japanese travellers in Asia. Usually quite smart, and daring. |

| #1 I wonder how long certain parties in Japan will stew over something like this before getting extreme, as in dispatching some first rate assassins to work a little revenge. |
