China is free to drag its feet on N. Korean problem as long as they want Japanese military with nukes,helping Taiwan.

So....what changes to the constitution are they looking at?

[dangus]

HEADLINE:

PRESIDENT TO DO SOMETHING
Congress likely to react

(uh, you mind telling us WHAT the Japanese are going to do?)

One of the major issues would be article 9 that restricts the use of military overseas, which would be the main point of this article. However, the positive attitude for a change in article 9 has once declined in the past. Meanwhile, the Japanese people feel a need to participate more in the United Nations Peace Keeping Operations since they were criticized in the Gulf War for lack of participation. This movement should not be seen as a pro-American attitude, but fear against isolation from the world while under threat from China and people's demand to be part of United Nations.

I've long believed the only reason Japan is not a nuclear power is because they store the triggers on one side of the room, and the warheads on the other.

How is the Japanese constitution amended?

[Paul_Denton]

Please rewrite Article 9. Please rearm. We need could use Japan's help for protecting Taiwan and against China/North Korea.

i love it when folks get religion!

btw, it was a laugh after the l.a. riots when rich hollywood women realized that the police do not exist to protect them, but exist to take reports after murders.

so these ladies got guns to protect themselves.
