Fair enough. In which case I blame all of America for allowing the torture and illegal detentions of prisoners, the ludicrously high incidence of the sexual assault and rape of female military personnel by their own male colleagues, and for PETA - the only "animal welfare" organisation in the world to execute tens of thousands more animals than it actually saves.
What other crass generalisations can we make? There have to be a few, surely.
The fact of the matter is that whaling in Japan is an extremely complex debate, and certainly isn't going to be resolved by taking a simplistic, overview approach such as yours.
