I suppose history dictates that the Japs have more reason than most (Israel excepted of course) to defend themselves.

Most of their neighbours would say it was the other way round! I find Japan an amazingly interesting culture. Things have changed there more dramatically in the last 50 years than anywhere else on earth. All fuled by US dollars (and chartered government) of course.

Japan is probably one of the most insular nations on the planet .

Apart from a decade or so in the last century of course ....

Nothing wrong with anyone having a defensive system I would think . Nothing to worry Obama about .
