		The national security bills are likely to pass the Diet at the end of its current session on June 19 and Japan commentators are suspecting that the US might indeed have "seized the opportunity" in trying to make sure that America would be the first "beneficiary" of Japan's upgraded military profile.
		Japan is also an important player on the Korean peninsula, where Bush's axis of evil remark as well as the current administration's determination to confront terrorist regimes has heightened tensions.
		For now, it seems Japan feels more comfortable sitting on the fence, closely observing the reactions of the international community to US plans to expand its military campaign, while thinking of a statesman-like line to drop in here and there.

		This is an image consistent with the postwar constitution's designation of the Diet as the "highest organ of state power" and with the democratic ideology publicly espoused in the wake of the political reforms of the Allied occupation.(2) Yet the representation of the Diet is ambiguous here.
		The protracted debates over the Diet's design testify to the complex cultural contradictions generated by the process of appropriation through which Western ideas were incorporated into Japan as part of the ambitious project of modernization.
		As a result, until the end of the war there was little enthusiasm for party politics, and the Diet as an institution was held in relatively low esteem.(6) The history of the Diet buildings reflects this tentative status.

	Is Japan Advancing Toward a 'Normal Country'?
		Viewed from Japan's domestic politics, the general public has not yet been prepared to dedicate themselves to such a "normal country" using armed forces, (as their older generation did during the first half of the 20th century), because the definition is but ideas in the head of the political elite holding sway of the nation.
		Japan's political forces which advocate the reuse of armed forces are well aware of the importance of this point, and the objective of a "normal country" can hardly be achieved under a democratic system if they fail to win public support.
		Presently, Japan's political forces are trying to "democratize" their ideas and plans of defending the national interests by armed forces, and have achieved a victory by passing the contingency bills by an overwhelming majority in the Diet.
