Japan: is it time to remove the restriction placed after WW2

[Courage the Cowardly Dog]

As they mull over whether it violates their pacifist constitution to preemptivly destroy the North korean missile silos. Can preemptive strikes really be self defense?

They also are currently deciding whether or not to ask for more US carriers to dock in the Yokusuka harbour (If you payed Shenmue you know it pretty well) Just for protection should North Korea go nuts or retaliate if Japan bombs their missile silos.

I praise this brave action, protecting the rest of the world and taking a bullet by doing what the UN is to impotent to do. Destroy the illegal weapons of the Villain of Team America World Police Kim Jong Ill.

The reprecussions would be awful, but I do believe it's justified. So I ask, is it time the Japanese self defence force to be allowed to become a true army?
