Hi all, As the only country which faced Nuclear attack (Twice), it should ponder the genuine concerns of North Korea for its safety. It is surrounded by NUCLEAR ARMED CHINA which is expanding its nuclear arsenal quitely in the guise of peaceful rise of China while actually it taught weak India a military lesson for its weakness and tried to teach lesson to battle hardened Vietnam and got lesson from General Giap.India was threatned by nuclear armed enterprise when it was holding 10 million refugees from East pakistan.Japan must think how it feels when North korea tests its missliles over its territory even with US umbrella.When that umbrella goes, north korea will have its nukes in caves while China will have open nukes being P5 memeber.Japan may be comfortable with PEACEFUL RISE OF CHINA. Not India,Vietnam,NorthKorea etc
