The US doesn't "need" to have bases in Japan or a lot of other places, but it does help maintain US dominance in world affairs.

As for whether Japan "needs" Us bases, I believe despite the isolated scandals that hit the US bases (rapes, murders, etc.) and the noise pollution,…

And many posters mix up “Europe” and “Italy”.

I agree with that statement, but recently there has been an anti-immigration backlash throughout the EU and the developed world. The Dutch, the French, the Americans, everyone is starting to believe enough is enough. However, many forget that illegal immigrant/legal immigrant labor…

The purpose of remembering the A-bombings is not to whitewash history or direct anti-US sentiment, but to show the folly and tragedy of war, as well as the destructive power of WMDs. Of course I believe that the bombings should be put in perspective (as in why they happened in…

Haha, even in Texas (reddest state in the US) most people believe that to be far-right propaganda.

Japan puts money before treating kids, shame on you Japan.

For all those people who believe Japan brought this on themselves, you need to take another look at history. The Japanese were victims of their own gov't/military. Unlike in the West, Japan was not truly democratic, so it's not like the Japanese elected these warmongers to power for the most…
