I too agree that we should keep whatever is necessary in Japan's Constitution to keep peace. If the efforts to change it are some kind of ploy by conflicting government parties to acquire and increase power, the results will be all the worse and meaningless. As so often is the case, gestures hide underlying motives.
In other words, I don't trust my own government, unfortunately. The realities of war are far too horrendous, everlasting and inhuman. Why can't we Japanese take courage in standing up for peace in the face of any pressure? We have the right to do so after Hiroshima.
