WASHINGTON (AP) -- Americans are far more likely than the Japanese to expect another world war in their lifetime, according to AP-Kyodo polling 60 years after World War II ended. Most people in both countries believe the first use of a nuclear weapon is never justified
...

Six in 10 Americans said they think such a war is likely, while only one-third of the Japanese said so, according to polling done in both countries for The Associated Press and Kyodo, the Japanese news service.

Asked whether a first strike with nuclear weapons ever could be justified, a majority in both countries said no. But Americans were twice as likely as the Japanese to think such a strike might be justified in some circumstances.

"But Americans were twice as likely as the Japanese to think such a strike might be justified in some circumstances."

Based on the known half-life of radionucleotides, I'd say this is slam-dunk evidence that the Japanese are twice as logical as Americans.:( We're a nation of morans with a drunken chimp at the helm. Nice.
