I'm not sure I follow. I would think a surrender ceremony has to be just that, dignified and cordial. No one is going to be tossing anything or anyone overboard to the sharks.
Just a feeling Link: If the guy making up the "die in my name, to back up my word" list suddenly lost his "Get out of Jail free card",--He just, might, talk a little longer, try a "little" harder, make his list a little shorter-??. Instead of thinking of himself as an "Infallible Japanese God" who had only to reach out and grab a hunk of the world that wasn't bothering him!!. With any/all "costs" borne by others. There's a big bunch running loose right now that would love to clean out Us, "Non believers" in return for a few Virgins, for pleasing their "One-True-God". For all our "advances", we're still clubbing each other like "Cave Men". When's it gonna end??. When the deterrence of nukes ends in a big cloud of smoke??.
And on that note: This thread has also pretty much played out. I think it is suffice to say that none of feels that these things should ever happen.
