re Japan: What I find most disheartening, is that the Japanese have claimed the right to pre-emptively protect themselves against a missile attack from N. Korea. This is new, it amounts to a reversal of their previous strictly-defensive posture. They have adopted Bush's principle of Preventive War. At any moment, the Japanese could convince themselves that N. Korea is about to attack, and thereby justify a massive conventional or nuclear strike (as soon as they acquire the capability). The Japanese are on the road to having nuclear ICBMs, and we put them on that road. And we claim to be championing non-proliferation.
