No matter how many discrepancies you can pick out.....


When a group runs a country - whatever country - Japan, Afghanistian...


that country - Japan, Afghanistan - will have any country who suffers an attack wanting to go at the country whose LEADERS - whether Japan or Afghanistan - were behind the attack.


You can say but the Japanese were FULLY behind the Japanese gov't in 1945 but the Afghanistan people were "iffy" about the Taliban in 2001 but....the country who gets attacked will have a SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF PEOPLE who just want to go at that country whose leaders - Japan or Afghanistan - were behind the attack.

I know left-wing people might not have a "knee jerk" reaction against an ENTIRE country, but many countries - USA or whoever - are not full left wing - so there might not be a "nuanced" left-wing reaction to any attack by leaders of another country.
