#1 Tokyo says a review is necessary due to the world's changing security situation.

Yes it is. Japan has proven it can now be trusted as a normal country on the international stage and doesn't need the US holding its hand for defense anymore. Let them be a normal country.

#2 It's interesting to examine the psychology of those opposed to this bill. Ignore their stated reason and look a little deeper. They have the bizarre idea that if they are "victims", then they won't need to defend themselves. By being utterly helpless, whoever would attack them, wouldn't. Like puppies rolling over on their backs to show submission to adult dogs. Not what I would call a highly effective technique.

#10 Actually 81. Kerry voted against it before he voted for it. You could look it up.
