Besides your own biases, that is?

The original charter of the International Whaling Commission is crystal clear, it is an organization dedicated to managing a commercial resource. I suggest you reread the post you responded to.

As to my take on the Japanese position it's simple, I've personally interviewed hundreds of Japanese on the topic and I suspect I understand the feelings of the people of the country better than the average person on DU. Of course, it is still my opinion, and you don't have to accept it. But, there is no wiggle room on the point that the whaling operations are legal.
