Such idiocy is unjustified. But hopefully this will be an opportunity for Americans and Okinawans to work together to stop such acts before they get out of hand.

Attention San Kokujin: You have offered the most thought-provoking solution ..... Bring back the then effective RASP (Ryukyu America Special Police) patrols. Working together, they soon put down the problems of the sixties caused in the main by dissadent Japanese groups sent down from Tokyo to cause dissention.

How soon you forget!

I think cow dunk would have been a more appropriate missile under the circumstance.

Presto you have the same image in your head as I did when I read this. Some wienie little dude "making his stand" against big bad old America. What a joke and from the extent of the damage the perp didn't know how to make a molotov cocktail

The US takes terrorism more seriously post 9/11, and such bombings like this are not the best way to address the issue of stationing Americans in Okinawa.

30 square centimeters? Japanese police measure small damage that precisely?

What kind of alcohol goes into a molotov cocktail? is it a vodka based one?

gasoline or kerosene are the best
