It was recently revealed that Japanese defense officials compiled a report on the pros and cons of developing a nuclear arsenal in 1995, not long after the first crisis over North Korea's nuclear efforts. The one country that has been attacked with nuclear weapons maintained its policy against such weapons—for now.

The article fails to mention that a few weeks ago, Japanese officials announced that some weapons-grade plutonium was "missing".

Japan may be quietly building a bomb or two, regardless of what their population thinks of nukes.

It's about time for Japan to re-arm and to take up its part in Western defense. They have dangerous neighbors.

The nation that really doesn't want Japan to wake
up is China, we need Japan to our ally
in fighting China.
China really the who is behind N. Korea.
