Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution prohibits any act of war by the state. Japan formally renounced war as a sovereign right and banned the settlement of international disputes through the use of force. The article No.9 also states that, to accomplish these aims, armed forces with war potential will not be maintained.

The very widespread support for Mr. Fujita's struggele to expose zhe official 9/11 lies could very well make the 9/11 issue become an election issue.for the first time..Japan must hold the election by October at the latest, but the ruling government has been hard pressed to find a favourable opportunity as the country battles its worst recession since World War Two.
The 9/11 issue might play an important in this election. In case Fujita's party could win at the polls, things may really start to move.
