<hijack>I'm not really an expert at this, but I do think that Germany and Japan are very different situations compared to say, Iraq. Germany is a European country, and have a culture that is much closer to ours, and Japan opened its doors to the west back in the 1800s. They are, therefore, at least somewhat comfortable with our views and culture and are more willing to cooperate. On the other hand, middle eastern and African countries are constantly in conflict not just with the west, but with themselves. </hijack>
