#2 Interesting... They call 'em "reactionaries", but don't mention what they're reacting to...

Typical NK ranting.

#4 Remilitarizing Japan will scare the crap out of the Chinese (as well as the rest of the region). Look for more Chinese tightening of the leash on Kim Jong Il if he keeps pissing off the Japanese and pushing them to rearm.

#5 What a hopeless basket case. Japan has zero ability to project force, although their little advertised Self-Defence forces have been one of the best funded militaries on the planet for some time now. Threatening a build-up in reaction to N. Korea would be a good way to apply pressure on China and N. Korea itself to make concessions. Unfortunately, N. Koreans seem to have little understanding of cause and effect. You wonder if even the top N. Korean officials have come to believe their own lies - after swimming in them for 50 years.
