Thanks. I am sure there will be much more today in the news reporting cycle. The Japanese media I have seen so far today purposely did not go into the 'han sen' (anti war) proclivities of one, two or all of the Japanese hostages.
Nevertheless, the 'han sen' ites in Japan are now going into the streets, ramping up their anti-US and anti-SDF Iraq deployment activities and banners.
My, how "convenient"?????
