someone else criticized your comment, but I found it cogent.

To the credit of the Japanese, they put in more money for Gulf War I and also helped in the Iraq reconstruction, putting in more than the EU.

We are going to have to accept them as wimps in the War on Terror as a counterweight to the benefit of them being pacifist yet pro-US on our policy. Note they didnt give us heat over Iraq war like France and Germany.

That's fair.
