Oh, and on absolute pacifism, my EA teacher recently read to us a survey taken of the Japanese people. Over 30%+ believed that even if Japan was invaded, they would not approve of creating a Japanese army. So while absolute pacifism always seemed a bit ridiculous to me, it would probably resonate with a lot of modern Japanese.
