I was just reading about this elsewhere, so glad you started a thread, ASU!
Honestly didn't think it was possible for an entire country of people to respond in such an organized manner to this scale of destruction. Perhaps they are in shock. Maybe when they lost their army after WWII the people became on the whole far more pacifistic than we had realized. I haven't known very many Japanese people in my life, and have never visited the country. But those few I know are exceptionally polite, hard-working, friendly people. I could never picture one of them looting. Perhaps those I've known are in fact the same as everyone else in the country.
Whatever their secret, I hope they're willing to share it with the world. It seems like with this mentality cleanup and rebuilding will be able to happen much more quickly.
