Recently 90 000 protestors declared that US bases are no longer welcome on the island of Okinawa. If the voices of dissent continue, Japan and the US face a serious blow to their 50 year relationship.

Common citizens who are tired of the crime caused by drunk marines- they seem to be backed by a number of politicians including the Japanese Social Democrats.

Cry me a river.

They attacked us. Not only was it an attack, but it was a sucker punch. Their "sovereignty" exists only because we are gracious winners.

Their sovereignty doesn't exist but they still exist because you are gracious winners.

The war ended a long time ago. With such a mindset the U.S would be little better then the U.S.S.R.

Really? What was that oil embargo the US placed on Japan (which inevitably forced Japan to go to war with America) then?

A substantial part of the USA's Economy is based around the War Industry. What use is a massive military when you can't use it to intimidate or control countries whilst proclaiming you're doing the world (and them) a favour by "saving" and "protecting" them?

~In order to save them from themselves we had to bomb them type logic, in other words.
