Japan won't ask for any green light to be 'given'. They will simply move ahead per what is in their national interest and right of self preservation. If we were them, we would do the same.

As of 1992... Japanese Air Force: 46,000 servicemen and 330 combat-ready aircraft divided into 3 ground attack, 9 fighter, 1 recon, and 5 transport squadrons Japanese Navy: 45,800 sailors and 146 warships including 21 submarines, 55 destroyers and frigates, 39 minesweepers, 9 patrol craft, and 9 amphibious ships. Japanese Army: 156,000 soldiers divided into 1 armored division, 1 airborne brigade, 1 artillary brigade, 1 anti-aircraft brigade, and 12 infantry divisions. ...it would seem as if they can take care of themselves.

I only hope.

I think we're about to, AIT. We - the USA - will have to act against Iran by April, 2007, when they will have produced enough fissile material for an A-Bomb.

When they have a bomb, they will attempt to deliver it upon Israel, and that cannot be allowed. Amanutjob is as crazy as Kim, and it's quite probable that both will be attacked conventionaly.

Keep your head down, old friend..............FRegards
