Oh! The opacity of it.

Yeah ... great idea. Let Iran continue to build the bomb and take away Israel's nukes at the same time. OH, I FORGOT, Iran's 'secret' underground nuclear facility and thousands of spinning centrifuges are simply to meet it's energy needs. Silly me ...

While Japan is a signatory to the NPT agreement, I can't help but feel the Japanese Govt is really trying to play 2 hands in this.
Being an NPT supporter sounds great, but in reality does little to prevent nuclear armed countries (and their associates ie USA - Japan)from continuing to play the Big Boy game.
If Japan was really serious about nuclear weapons, and backed up it's correct portrayal as the only nation to suffer a nuclear attack, why oh why hasn't it established Japan as one of the worlds Nuclear Free Zones (other Asian countries have) or why oh why hasn't it joined the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons.
I mean it's the least a govt can do, seeing it is the only country to have lost 100,000s of it's citizens to the evil of nuclear weapons. So weak.

Japan is really the only country that I can think of that says that it does not want a nuclear arsenal but in all reality could bang a couple of them out in a weekend. With that capability could not japan just be a nuclear free country only in name? Other countries like China and North Korea should be a little less assertive with their arsenals. I think japan has the capability the money and the know how to make a much better system than either of those countries.
