This comes up every once in a while since 9/11.

It's wrong out of several reasons. Japan was a highly industrialised rich nation. And most importantly, it had a government to negotiate terms and a highly ornaised army to surrender. At that time, they already knew they had lost the war. From the japanese standpoint, the only thng left was to get honorable terms and as far as I'm informed they pretty much got what they bargained for. Which was for the emperor staying untouchable. And that's what happened. Mc Arthur made sure of that, sweeping under the carpet every accusation against Horohito during the insuing trials.

Same goes for Germany, since that comes up also when talking about the Middle Eastern situation. Germany was highly industrialised, technological - in some aspects anyway - more advanced than the allies and part of the Western culture.

One cannot compare a war with clear cut frontlines to the situation of today.
