I think many are too afraid to think for themselves, content to do what the government tells them. I think they actually believe that this will stop “terrorists”, which of course to them must be “foreigners”. Why do they think that? Well the TV and newspapers and government are saying it’s true.
They have short memories. Even I can remember the sarin gas attack that was carried out by a Japanese, and the airplane that was hijacked by members of the Japanese Red Army. The only other acts of terror that I remember, are the North Korean kidnappings of Japanese.

In case you think I’m exaggerating about any of this, I’ll refer you to debito.org where you can read more about what’s going on.
These days I might be living in pre-war Germany, or the southern United States during the time before the freedom-riders. Japan has taken on some good role models, ones that remind me how misguided policies can lead to sad endings.
