   lol that was a pretty funny post   
      
   i for one would say that if the japanese dont let themselves get caught up   
   in the world hysteria of terror, then they're not being terrorised, which is   
   in effect, defeating the terrorists and good on them.   
      
   besides, i got sick of the constant coverage of september 11. here in   
   australia, one of the two national airlines collapsed and went into   
   receivership on the same day. but you'd be buggered to hear anything about   
   it because of sept 11. not saying it wasn't important, but overcoverage   
   shits me no end.   
      
   yes, they may over cover in japan on things you think are unimportant too,   
   but on the case of sept 11 - good on them for not geting wrapped up in the   
   terror hysteria.
