This is unusal for the Japanese. The Chinese don't want the Japanese gettign nukes this may get their attention, interesting reaction from Doh, he is Anti American, and wants to engage with Kim.

TOKYO - Japan said Monday it was considering whether a pre-emptive strike on the North's missile bases would violate its constitution, signaling a hardening stance ahead of a possible U.N. Security Council vote on Tokyo's proposal for sanctions against the regime.

Japan was badly rattled by North Korea's missile tests last week and several government officials openly discussed whether the country ought to take steps to better defend itself, including setting up the legal framework to allow Tokyo to launch a pre-emptive strike against Northern missile sites.

"If we accept that there is no other option to prevent an attack ... there is the view that attacking the launch base of the guided missiles is within the constitutional right of self-defense. We need to deepen discussion," Chief Cabinet Secretary Shinzo Abe said.

Japan's constitution currently bars the use of military force in settling international disputes and prohibits Japan from maintaining a military for warfare. Tokyo has interpreted that to mean it can have armed troops to protect itself, allowing the existence of its 240,000-strong Self-Defense Forces.

Meantime with no negotiations, korea keeps processing plutonium for itself or others.

Well PDRK has boycotted the talks. The only reason anyone pays attention to Kim is his nukes.

How do you think we should proceed?

You have a one on one talk, or stall and he keeps processing.
Or you have a nuclear war.

We should have continued what Clinton was doing, carrot and stick diplomacy. We need to talk tough, but work toward a peaceful resolution. I don't think Bush's cowboy tactics will work any better in North Korea than they did in Iraq. I also think Japan is bluffing; if they demonstrate too much military prowess, it's going to significantly complicate their complicated relations with China.

He's not BOYCOTTED all talks, he requested talks with the U.S. which bush said no, as I said ,plutonium processing continues. Is that diplomacy?

Let's just hope Japan plays it cool. An attack on North Korea would be met with a North Korean attack on South Korea and we would be instantly--and militarily--involved.

What then? Would we attack Pyongyang? North Korea's nuclear sites? What would China do? How about Russia? Would we see a replay of the Korean war? Where would we get the troops to fight it? Iraq?

Isn't it a wonderful time to be alive?

I'm sure that Condi Rice, if not Bush, is talking to the Japanese right now and telling them not to act.

Much as I wish George Bush were not President, NEM, it seems a bit excessive to me to blame him for all things bad.

After all, Kim Jong Il deserves some of the blame, no?

Maybe now some people who have refrained from doing so will see exactly what Bush has created, world wide. Everything that is happening in this world today is directly, or indirectly, with his lack of diplomatic skills.

No it was your boy Willy ****sucker who created this situation that it is at now, you don't think any of that nuclear **** he gave to China didn't make its way to North Korea?

I swear than man is the fa king anti-Christ, how bad he screwed us up that we have to deal with now. And these partisan morons like NEM, are to dumb to open their eyes to see what happened from having that POS president for 8 years.

Now this idiot wants us to sit down and negotiate with KJI, how dumb is that, lets appease them. Oh wait we did that with middle east terrorists , and it came back to bite us in the a$s, with 9/11.

Maybe when people are dead in Japan or Alaska from a nuclear warhead that we probably gave the technology for, you will wake up, probably not still screaming your theroies and see what stick, but just like now it will be ALL CRAP.
