This is more than just give Japan more respect. If Japan wants a military they need to change their "pacifist Constitution" to do so. You make it sound like its so easy for them to do so when an over whelming number of Japanese do not want it.
naive is assuming I'm unaware of crucial facts. I disagree. First, this IS a discussion forum. You nor I can change or affect any international political issue. I agree that as governments as are now and politics as are now, it is not going to happen. However, NO one knows how things pan out. did you 20 years before they happened, predict Desert Storm? did you Predict 911? The fall of the Berlin Wall? Economic Rise of China ans Korea? Tell me now the surprising, world shocking things that will happen in the next 30 years. Most people did not predict these things, yet they happened. A lot of events surprise the world.

Talk is talk, and its healthy and productive for people to discuss what they thing the governments are doing and what the governments should do. If you think the talk is wasting your time, don't participate.

Saying it's impossible or people of Japan are against it is fine. That is good arguments that is true NOW. It might change in the future. The idea that it's not worth discussion because it will never happen is a false statement. Your ability to predict what will happen in twenty years is no more valid than anyone else.
