<br/><br/> This article argues that Japan is far from assuming the role.  For Japan war and terror serves more as a political protect for legitimating long planned changes in military security policy that are often only marginally related to US's anti-terrorism agenda.  The final conclusion is that US military hegemony may be weakened by Japan's and the Asia Pacific's divergence from the US global security agenda.
