Iran needs nuclear weapons. Seriously, why are people looking at Iran's nuclear program when we should be far more concerned about Japan's secret stockpiling of plutonium?
Here are some facts about the Japanese war regime:
Nuclear power in Japan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
35.4% of the power in Japan is produced by nuclear power. The area of Japan is 378000 km2. Assuming an even distribution of power, 133812 km2 is powered by nuclear energy. There are 55 nuclear plants in the country, therefore, 1 nuclear plant for every 2432 km2. For comparison, the area of a typical county in China (Chiayi in Taiwan as an example) is 1900 km2. This is approximately 2 nuclear plants for every 3 counties - in far excess of every other country, including the US, which has 104 nuclear plants but with over 30x the area of Japan. However, the per capita energy expenditure of Japan is lower than that of the US!
The only explaination is the illegal stockpiling of nuclear weapons by Japan. One must question why they do this. Israel's acquisition of nuclear weapons is completely justified based on its complex geopolitical reality, yet Japan not only has joined the NPT, surrendered use of nuclear weapons in its own constitution and is forbidden to have a military, it faces no immediate threats.
