Japan Gets Tough!

According to this AP story reported by Pajamas Media, Japan may be exploring the option of rearming. They are also looking into the legality of a pre-emptive strike against N. Korea. I say good for them.

Japan has relied on the United States for protection decades and I think it would be great if they began to take more responsibility for their defense. Especially now when the United States Armed Forces are streched thin it would be advantageos to have a strong ally in East Asia. Japan has been a good friend and partner to our nation and I think that the concerns that led to Japan's tiny military have been layed to rest.
