Japan is waking up from it's 55 year slumber. The world is getting more and more dangerous and the US can't protect everyone. The free world needs Japan to step up and take its place as one of the world's great powers.

Mark my words- Japan will become a nuclear power by the end of this decade.

Is Japan still running those Breeder reactors. If so, they have plenty of plutonium to make bombs. Nukes in 2 years, at the outside, from the day of a decision.

About time. Of course, let us hope that Japan's and the USA's interests always coincide.

God help us all.

I agree.
I think Japan is not only seeing it's alliance with the US growing in importance when it comes to dealing with terrorism but also the growing military threat of China.

I was glad to see Japan stand up against the terrorists in Iraq.
Let's remember all we had to go through to get Japan to surrender in WW2. They are some tough people who don't give up easily. We want them on our side.

You're kidding, right?

Japan won't be a nuclear power until they take those widgets off the left shelf, and hook'em to the whatsits on the right.

All kidding aside, Japan IS a superpower. Count on it.
