It was these traits that made them a major military power prior to WWII and the same traits that made them a major technological/economic power afterwards. I guarantee you, even if we nuke the shit out of the Middle East, 100 years from now they still will be far behind us.
Absolutely, Fengzi! I have a couple friends living in Japan. Jenise just finished a movie about the Japanese reaction to the Iraq war. I will have to look for the link and post it. I would love to go to Japan. We are so behind technologically it is depressing. The Japanese KICK ASS. AND they are leading the way in environmetal protections as well. PLUS those Japanese game shows crack me up
