In a call for peace, long-time advocate of peace and conservationism Charles M. Overby suggests that the US model of militarism and force in international relations is inappropriate for Japan to emulate at this critical moment in world affairs. He urges the Japanese people to guide their government to an independent path as a "conscientious objector nation, " demonstrating non-violent "alternative service" to contribute to world peace and justice. Article 9 and its implications, he argues, provide both the means and goal to this end. Article 9 will be our "survival guide" for the new millennium.
