I watching FNC one day and saw one of the Iraqis admit that they hate addam bu tsaid it is also customary to help hide him if he asks for help. Those people are way too strict in their culture.
Your post implies the Japs were innocents in WWII. I think they made the same mistake the radical Islamists have made - pushed the wrong guy too far - and got exactly what they deserved - maybe a bit less.
You'd think if those people can be strict enough in their customs to aid their own enemy, they would understand that GITMO is a much more luxurious jail compared to thier own.
Customary to hide anyone who comes looking for help in Afghanistan, so I think we should have a few Americans ask for shelter in various areas and just wait. :-)
