text: should australia go to war with japan over whaling? i think would be a good reason to fight a war, too save the whales. what do you think? south to japan?  what freaky map are you using?  australia & japan would really have a war over whales?  that sounds really pointless.  good for you forwanting to help marine wildlife, but if this does happen (and i doubt it), it will be the most rediculous war ever.
