“Islamic State militants released a video on Tuesday appearing to
show a captured Jordanian pilot being burnt alive in a cage, a killing
that shocked the world and prompted Jordan to promise an ‘earth-shaking’
response.
“A Jordanian official said the authorities would swiftly execute several militants in retaliation, including an Iraqi woman whom Amman had sought to swap for the pilot taken captive after his plane crashed in Syria in December….
“‘The revenge will be as big as the calamity that has hit Jordan,’ army spokesman Colonel Mamdouh al Ameri said in a televised statement confirming the death of the pilot, who was seized by Islamic State in December.
“The fate of Kasaesbeh, a member of a large tribe that forms the backbone of support for the country’s Hashemite monarchy, has gripped Jordan for weeks and some Jordanians have criticised King Abdullah for embroiling them in the U.S.-led war that they say will provoke a backlash by militants….
“DEMAND FOR REVENGE
“In the pilot’s hometown of Karak in southern Jordan, people demanded:
“‘I want to see Sajida’s body burnt and all the other terrorists in Jordanian prisons … Only then will my thirst for revenge be satisfied,’ said Abdullah al-Majali, a government employee among dozens of demonstrators in the centre of Karak.
this is quite a different sort of reaction than the kind often seen in western nations where the families of victims often forgive — in public — whoever killed their family member(s).
“Relatives of the pilot also gathered in Karak and urged calm after anti-government protests broke out in the town. They said it was up to the government to take revenge for them….”“A Jordanian official said the authorities would swiftly execute several militants in retaliation, including an Iraqi woman whom Amman had sought to swap for the pilot taken captive after his plane crashed in Syria in December….

You suggesting that Mr. Abe should commit hara-kiri because he expanded Japan's military role beyond the best-interest of Japan?
Abe hasn't expanded anything yet. He has, however, been exhorting Japan not to forget that it once had a legendary pair, and that they've been ascended for far too long. Look, WW-III is right around that signpost up ahead. No country on the face of the earth is more beholden to external commodity inputs than Japan. Tweaking their oil supply is how Roosevelt tricked them into Pearl Harbor in the first place.
It's long overdue time that Japan shake off that externally imposed pacifism and commence to strapping up for the inevitable hell up in Harlem that's pending in and around Asia.
Either that or accept they got nothing and go medieval right-quick and in a hurry...
Overshot by 100 million, Japan has only one acceptable medieval path to take..,
