"And really, who thinks a strongly armed Germany is a good idea?"

I do, they are our allies. This isn't the Weimar republic. They are a stable democracy that are in no danger of being taken over by a Hitler. Same with Japan, I think they should be re-arming themself and taking more of these duties to protect themselves. These nations would rather have us doing it because it saves them a tremendous amount of money. We can't afford it anymore. These nations need to start taking on more of their responsibility for their protection. NATO charter says that all of it's members are supposed to be spending 2% of their GDP on defense. We are like the only ones that do it. It's time for other NATO members to step up to the plate. During the Soviet Union era they did. They have fallen off drastically since then.
