Nuclear sophistry

Documents show evidence of N-deal
The fresh discovery of U.S. government documents mentioning a secret deal reached during Japan-U.S. talks over the reversion of Okinawa Prefecture to Japanese rule has served as another convincing piece of evidence for the long-held suspicion that the two governments agreed to allow nuclear weapons to be brought into the post-reversion prefecture. … Though the government still flatly denies the existence of the secret deals, testimonies and documents have proved them to be historic facts.
Ponta, a really good commentator, recently remarked on this blog, I think most Japanese object to having nuclear weapon.
This is exactly right. I hear this all the time. But how many Japanese object to being under America’s nuclear umbrella?
What is this like? Imagine a person constantly followed around by a machine-gun toting bodyguard say, “I object to guns and will never carry one around with me.”

What is it like?
“I object to guns and will never carry one around with me. but there are a lot of bad guys carrying guns. Until you guys actually abandon the guns, will you protect me? Isn’t it much better than Japan start carrying guns. adding more threat to the world?”
(Thank you for the compliment)
