Japan reverses its position on Pacifism

[michaelmaltby]

.... I think this a necessary, realistic measure for today's world:

Japan's pacifist constitution: After 70 years, nation changes the rules so it can go to war - Asia - World - The Independent

I think that is a very smart thing to do!

Well, Japan being pacifist is a great idea in a world that is not on edge. The Orient and Asia in general have become a hot bed of tension, especially in Japan's vicinity, where China has been bullying the Phillipines and Vietnam over territory. China has even locked horns with Japan a few times.

And of course, there's North Korea...

Abe is a realist. I think he has only adjusted the notion of alliance to normal one.
