hardarms2: Actually, what interest does china have with the Ryukyu Islands? Uji fields? Fishing? Awamori? We're on Okinawa because it's a strategic forward operating base for US Forces in the region and we don't really care for the local’s safety. In fact, our presence there makes Okinawa a target. I'd…

Burakumindes: Third rate prefecture? Well, they do have a tough time since the mainland types don't really view them as true "Japanese". They also have mainland companies setting up shop and sending their profits back to the mainland when they should be investing that money back into Okinawa. However, I'd…

As for those of you who think the bases support the local economy, ever been to Okinawa? As Mookoo said, they only contribute to 5% of the local economy. Okinawa would take a hit if they left, but they would recover.

Funny, weed is so bad yet you see all those kei cars with MJ air freshneres and MJ shirts for sale at stores. Guess it's ok if it's for "fashion" but not if you actually partake. Gotta love Japan!

bushlover: Where do you get your information? Okinawa is a target because of the US military presence. The only reason the US is there is to keep a foothold in the region, they couldn't care less about "protecting" okinawa.
