Why change Article 9 when it is already being circumvented.

because it is not enough. Japan does not have a war potencial

Better polish your language before posting man, I can't understand you or you confuse me.

We, the Japanese people, acting through our duly elected representatives in the National Diet, determined that we shall secure for ourselves and our posterity the fruits of peaceful cooperation with all nations and the blessings of liberty throughout this land, and resolved that never again shall we be visited with the horrors of war through the action of government, do proclaim that sovereign power resides with the people and do firmly establish this Constitution. Government is a sacred trust of the people, the authority for which is derived from the people, the powers of which are exercised by the representatives of the people, and the benefits of which are enjoyed by the people. This is a universal principle of mankind upon which this Constitution is founded. We reject and revoke all constitutions, laws ordinances, and rescripts in conflict herewith.

We, the Japanese people, desire peace for all time and are deeply conscious of the high ideals controlling human relationship and we have determined to preserve our security and existence, trusting in the justice and faith of the peace-loving peoples of the world. We desire to occupy an honored place in an international society striving for the preservation of peace, and the banishment of tyranny and slavery, oppression and intolerance for all time from the earth. We recognize that all peoples of the world have the right to live in peace, free from fear and want.

We believe that no nation is responsible to itself alone, but that laws of political morality are universal; and that obedience to such laws is incumbent upon all nations who would sustain their own sovereignty and justify their sovereign relationship with other nations.

We, the Japanese people, pledge our national honor to accomplish these high ideals and purposes with all our resources.

Does it include anything about developing indigenous weapons technology?

I disagree with the article for the simple fact that it denies japan the right to defend themself. Every other nation in the region has the right to defense and usually a large and powerful army to back it up. It is beyond time for japan to do the same. When japan does this it will mean we will have the ability to stand alone from the U.S. and not be at a disadvantage any longer.

Article 9 is not going to be changed, at least not for a long time.

The political right, under the Abe, Koizumi fiasco regime wanted to, but they never had anything resembling a coalition to get it done. The most they managed was to upgrade the JSDF from an agency to a department.

Fukuda is a left wing pacifist. He will have nothing of the sort.
