Many Japanese people, especially highly educated people, think that Japan has learned freedom, liberalism, or things like that from the United States, France, and the United Kingdom. However, the Japanese people are often surprised that the governments of the US, France, and the UK often do something which the Japanese government could absolutely not. I just read an article about a terrorism suspect in France, Kamel Daoudi, who had owned the French nationality but was divested of it because of suspicion of a terrorism. It is completely impossible that the Japanese government deprives the nationality of the Japanese people for whatever reason, because the US, France, and the UK once taught the Japanese people that it was impossible.

In addition, Kamel Daoudi has been kept a punishment of deportation for years. After he served his term of imprisonment in France, he has still been watched by the police and forced to stay in France and apart from stations, freeways, and such; though, the French government is bearing all of his expenses. That was once often taken by the Soviet government, which was called banishment to Siberia. It must be old-fashioned in Russia, but still active in France. In Japan, such kind of treatment is absolutely impossible because the US, France, and the UK once taught the Japanese people that it was impossible.

If you want to eat the best French dishes, you have to go to Tokyo. Like that, you have to go to Japan if you want to enjoy western liberalism.

I just want to comment that in Western world terrorism is a delicate subject. People feel very strongly about it, especially since the terrorist acts are not only limited to the US but also mainland Europe.

I would also like to point out that non-Japanese citizens are not always treated fairly in Japan if there is something shady about them.

That said I think there are negative aspects about every country's customs sadly. I personally think that we are taking wrong actions in preventing terrorism.

Lately I've been angry with the American government.

Have you heard of the new NDAA? Scary stuff!
Actually, everywhere I go I hear other Americans complaining about the government. We want to change things but we don't seem to have enough influence. I am embarrassed by our government. I hope that other countries don't think all Americans agree with it. If anything, I think the majority of Americans disagree with what our government does.
