A Japanese ruling party panel is to propose that pre-emptive strikes against enemy bases be allowed despite the country's pacifist constitution, Kyodo news agency said on Monday, weeks after a North Korean missile launch. North Korea fired a ballistic missile in April that flew over northern Japan after warning that it planned to launch a satellite, prompting the government to deploy missile interceptors to the area ."Japan should have the ability to strike enemy bases within the scope of its defense-oriented policy, in order not to sit and wait for death," Kyodo quoted the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) committee as saying in its proposal.The committee also plans to call for Japan to develop early-warning satellites to detect the launch of missiles toward the country, Kyodo said. Japan currently depends on information from a U.S. early-warning satellite, the agency said.While some lawmakers have called for strike capability, Defense Minister Yasukazu Hamada is among those are cautious about the prospect, though the government's stance is that such strikes should be allowed if an attack were certain to take place. The panel's plans are set to be submitted for consideration ahead of the compilation of a five-year government Defense program by the end of the year, Kyodo said.

Dangerious developments.....if the go ahead is give by the parliament ,spells doom for the region which is already destabilized......hope the people of japan have not forgotten the second world lessons so fast......sabre rattling of north korea can best be controlled by unified action initiated by the world community under the agesis of UN.....rather then singular and unilateral act by country in the region like japan and south korea......
This is really complex situation as you have explained and need to be death with at the international level or it will have serious effects once Japan opts far aggressive strategy then Skorea and china will follow leading india to increase its military expense and that will force Pakistan and so on
UN is the correct way to handle this problem
