United We Must Stand
In the last few days, my blog received quite a few visits from Japanese domains (.jp) of users searching for "Ansar al-Sunnah" and similar search words.
I think this is related to this news story:
Saito is a veteran of the Japan Self-Defense Force and of the French Foreign Legion, and worked in Iraq as a security contractor - as reported by Kyodo News, to guard electric lines (you know, those infrastuctures that according to pacifists were destroyed in the war, thus turning the Iraqis against the invaders).
I'm afraid I cannot say anything comforting to the Japanese: the people probably holding your fellow citizen are ruthless bloodthirsty savages, and it's unlikely he will make it alive. Unless Japan submits to the jihadis' requests, but that would be a defeat. United we must stand, or one by one we'll fall.

Japan continued struggling Wednesday to obtain information about a Japanese man believed to have been taken captive by an Islamic militant group in Iraq.Same old script, the jihadis said they will release the hostage if Japan withdraws its troops etc. Sadly, these Ansar al-Sunnah bastards are not reknown for their meekness: months ago, they slaughtered twelve Nepalese hostages.
Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi told reporters, ''We only have a
lot of unconfirmed information'' about what may have happened to 44-year-old Akihiko Saito.''

This is sad and my heart goes out to his family. I do hope that the Japanese don't give in to any ransom demands that will only encourage more kidnappings and fund the terrorist.
