Comments:American sailor jailed for murder of Japanese taxi driver

Luckily Japan has the economic upper hand
Other nations around the globe do not have this luck and US Army thugs roam free with a licence to do anything. Only in Romania there were ten cases. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teo_Peter

The big difference between the Japan incident and this Romania incident is that the latter was committed by a person with Diplomatic Immunity. Read the source: "Peter was killed in a traffic accident at 4:30am on December 3, 2004 when 31-year-old U.S. Marine Staff Sergeant Christopher Van Goethem serving as a Marine Security Guard at the U.S. embassy in Bucharest[3], while driving his Ford Expedition, collided with a taxi carrying Peter. Van Goethem, allegedly drunk, did not obey a traffic signal to stop, which resulted in the collision. Peter was buried on December 7 in Mănăştur Cemetery, in his native Cluj-Napoca." ... "The Romanian government requested the American government lift his diplomatic immunity[6], which it has refused to do. "

As far as I understand from the sources, the Japan incident was committed by a military person without diplomatic immunity.
