"Japanese Going Ballistic" from the Winds of Change.NET blog of June 24, 2003, 00:16:13...

The Japanese government has decided to purchase and deploy a 2-layered ballistic missile defence system by 2007. ...Forward defence will be provided by the latest version of the SM-3 "Standard" missile, which will operate from Kongo-class navy destroyers eqipped with AEGIS radars. Backup defense will come from PAC-3 "Patriot" missiles....disappointed the Japanese didn't go for an early deployment of the Israeli Arrow2 missile system, which has 2 batteries in operation now and could provide a wider-coverage defense option much sooner than 2007... I don't think Japan will be given that much time before something is needed.

*whew* What do you think the price tag for something like that is?

You can have one for the low, low price of Your Immortal Soul!

Don't want to give that up, eh? How about Mineral Rights and Political Flunkying?

No go on that too...hmm...toughy here...
