		Japan has two basic security policy objectives: (a) to prevent any threat from reaching Japan and, in the event that it does, to repel it; and (b) to improve the international security environment in order to prevent any threat from reaching Japan in the first place.
		Japan's defense forces-the ultimate guarantee of its national security-should be capable of effectively responding to any new threats and diverse situations, while inheriting the elements of the Basic Defense Force Concept that still remain valid.
		Japan's future defense forces should be capable of coping with ballistic missile attacks, attacks carried out by guerrillas and special operations forces, and invasion of offshore islands.

	Japan's cabinet adopts new defense policy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-08)
		TOKYO (AP) -- Japan's Cabinet adopted a new defense policy Tuesday that calls for slimming down the military but expanding its roles in fighting terrorism and providing disaster relief.
		A separate non-binding statement by Chief Cabinet Secretary Koken Nosaka said Japan intended to maintain its basic philosophy of avoiding international conflicts, but in the interests of the U.S.-Japan security system would try to increase equipment and technology exchanges with the United States.
		The calls for expanded uses of the military in anti-terrorism and disaster relief actions stem from Japan's experience with two disasters this year: the earthquake that devastated the western port city of Kobe in January and the nerve gas attacks on rush-hour commuters in Tokyo subways in March.

		After the firing of the missile, I made clear Japan's position in my press conference in the evening of August 31, namely that this missile launch was extremely regrettable.
		Now that the possibility has emerged that the missile landed in the high seas off the Sanriku coast of this country, Japan really deplores the launching of the missile, from the viewpoint of our security and the peace and stability of Northeast Asia, as well as of the non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.
		I reiterate this stance of Japan and lodge a strong protest against North Korea.

		Fukuda perhaps was not even suggesting that Japan was seriously contemplating a nuclear option--bear in mind the denials that have come from the prime minister on down.
