The Japanese had a certain sense that they had brought their occupation on themselves- a fatalism that the Iraqis do not have. The Japanese had, after all, committed a first strike on the US- the Iraqis had not. The Japanese were also decimated in a way the Iraqis have not been. If you look at the data on the percentage of their cities that were destroyed, the numbers are staggering. There were no acts of resistance in Japan- which pretty much sums up the Japanese attitude. There's a good book on Japan after the war called "Embracing Defeat". I read it some time ago, but found it instructive.
