Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi seems to grasp much of this, and so is undertaking discussions on security and defense that aim to help revise the "National Defense Program Outline." Those with bitter memories of Japanese behavior half a century ago should be reassured; this debate is about how to defend peace, not about how to promote or wage war.
小泉首相似乎已充分意识到这一点，所以正就安全与防卫的问题进行磋商。磋商的目的是为了修改"国家防卫计划纲要"。对于日本人在半个世纪以前的所作所为仍留有痛苦记忆的人们可以放心；这场争论是关于如何捍卫和平而不是关于如何推进或发动战争。
