I often wondered why the Japanese felt they had to be so tolerant as to let fifth columnists operate in their midst.
Then, after 14 years there, I moved back to the United States and find we are even more tolerant of fifth columnists.
Meanwhile, the Japanese appear to value their survival and are going after Chongryon, this time without waiting for an incident like the subway sarin attacks by Aum Shirikyo. Of course, I have to admire the speed and ferocity with which they moved against Aum after the attack.
Will we ever work up the courage to do the same against the fifth columnists in our midst such as the Wahabbist mosques, CAIR, NAMBLA, the ACLU, etc.?
