THAT would be a mess indead.
You talk about giving Japan the bomb, but AFAIK Japan has had a deliberate policy of not pursuing nuclear weapons because of the fact that they've seen the destruction they cause first hand. So really it's not a question of giving Japan the bomb because no-one's been withholding it from them.
