Japan Man

Japan is scared of foreign terrorist attacks so foreigner fingerprints and photographs are taken at Japan’s international airports. At first I was skeptical of Japan’s overreacting politics especially since the most serious terrorist attack in Japan’s history  was home grown. In 1995, the Aum Shinrikyo religious cult detonated deadly sarin gas in Tokyo’s subway system.  I thought Japan didn’t have anything to worry about in terms of foreign terrorist attacks until al-Qaida recently hinted at Japan being a possible target.

Ayman al-Zawahri, second in command of al-Qaida, recently threatened to punish Japan and all other countries who participated in the Iraq War. He advised Japan to end its’ alliance with the U.S. “who had occupied, looted, humiliated and bombed them with nukes.”

Oops, it looks like Japan done gone and pissed off al-Qaida because they are providing assistance to America’s war campaign. It looks like Japan really needs to take fingerprints and photos of suspicious gaijin after all……
