Japanese people on a personal level respect eachother immensely, the whole culture is based upon respect, unfortunately, and much thanks to an insular imperialist history with a bit of a God complex thrown in the old values got terribly misconstrued into a rather obscene situation where heirarchy and social status are valued far too highly.
The Japanese put themselves under ridiculous amounts of stress in this way and yet in many other ways their society is really to be respected hugely I think. And I cant imagine the subject of this thread being the overwhelming viewpoint of the person on the street, the Japanese people largely didn;t want to go to Iraq in the first place, but you know, their economy is in a bit of a mess and the US well, it has these big contracts and import taxes and all....
