Japanese Tourists Found Dead
(Kabul, Afghanistan) Tourists Jun Fukusho, 44, and Shinobu Hasegawa, 30, both junior high school teachers from Hiroshima, disappeared on August 8 in southern Afghanistan. Their bodies, confirmed by dental records, were found Thursday in a ditch outside Kandahar. According to the Japanese Foreign Ministry, both "had been shot in the head point-blank."

While acknowledging that their deaths were brutal, senseless, and criminal, I have to seriously question the wisdom of touring Afghanistan while the country is at war.

I've got to agree. It's not the safest place to be.

Some people just ain't too bright. Hell, I don't even go to Atlanta in broad daylight, and I damn sure ain't gonna go to any muslim country without fire support on tap.

The Japanese like to get everywhere and don't seem to think much about consequences as long as they can take a few photos. Shosei Koda was another good example of this kind of folly.

And of course it's our fault.

if they wanted to take a look around they should have either had some local protection or looked into having some American troops guide them around...i mean, common sense, you dont go wandering around in a strange land knowing that there are unfriendlys around

I think the problem with the Japanese is that they think the rest of the world is as safe as Japan, who are a civilized people. In truth most of the rest of the world is populated by bloodthirsty savages, and travelers forget this at their peril.
