#3 Hell,they gave birth to the concept of the suicide bomber.

Good point... (mental image of Japanese judges holding up cards with 3's and 4's on them after an Al Qaeda attack).

Seriously, Al Qaeda might find some willing allies amongst Japanese leftists (eliminating the need to infiltrate Arab shooters). It was a Japanese group (Japanese Red Army) that shot up the Tel Aviv airport in the 70s as a favor to the Palestinians. Are any of those groups still active?

#4 There's a lot of wierd politics in Nippon, and some of the fringes get real violent. Hell, they had riots and such over the placement of an airport not that long ago. Wierd.

If the fundieboomers look around, they'll find sympathizers. Unfortunately.

#5 they had riots and such over the placement of an airport not that long ago.

The airport in question is Narita and they are still pissed about it. The government did the eminent domain thing and took the land from some farmers. Couple of times a year one of the far left groups fires homemade rockets or mortars at the airport. They never hit anything and the government tries to keep it quiet, the tourists might get nervous. They also fire on US bases in Japan with the same mortars, happened at Yokota and Camp Zama this year. I think they aim at empty parts of the bases to keep from hurting anyone.
The far right drives around the bases with black vans with big loudspeakers on top blaring speeches telling the US to go home. They just do this during the day because it wouldn't be polite to disturb peoples sleep at night. It's a Japanese thing.

#6 The airport in question is Narita

Same thing when they were building the new Osaka airport. Aparently someone was not pleased that they had to reduce the size of a few mountains to get the earth needed to build the new airport on water. Novel idea, but due to a critical decision made during construction to save costs, the airport is now sinking a couple of inches every year.

#7 You can bet your ass that Islamic murderers will carry out a soft target hit on Japan. How Japan reacts will be interesting, no?
