OssanAmerica, you are correct about the constitution and harming the Showa Tenno would of caused internal problems for the allies. I suspect what was left of the army would of gone underground and the fight might even have continued to today. However this did not happen and the Americans were…

pathat, if the people of Okinawa want them to leave and the sovereign government of Nippon wants them to leave then they should leave. The war has been over now for the last 64 years and the voters have voted out the political party they propped up after the war.…

OssanAmerica, so true and they are all remembered at the peace shrine at Hiroshima. About Nagasaki, the bomb wiped out an import part of Christianity in Japan. The hidden Christians who kept the faith during the the Shogun purges and repressions. The Americans did no thinking about their targets, am…

Japan needs to respect the welfare of the Blue Tuna and stop fishing for them. Hear the food culture bit but if they are all killed where would the culture be? I usually fully support my nation but when it comes to fishing and whale hunting disagree. Our leaders need…

Yes it is time for Japan to honor its constitution. Let the Americans refuel its own war fleet. As for Okinawa times change, if the Americans will not honor the wishes of the sovereign government of Japan it becomes an illegal occupation. It is an act of aggression against the…

Suppose he will visit North Korea next. This person is so full of horse manure it boggles ones mind. Americans for the most part are ok in my book. A bit too oh oh at times they tend to work things out with time. They do mean well and a…

USNinJapan2, you see the USS Missouri as a memorial of American victory. I see it as a symbol of Americas might in WWII and now. It is a symbol of warning to others that they can bring down their boot on the necks with those that disagree with them. I…

SEPTIMUS, pardon me for not wanting to "honor" this event. A few days late but how about honoring the 24-August-1814? What no sense of history? It is a very historical event only not so pleasing to Americans?

The mighty mo is a symbol of rubbing salt in a wound. The paranoia of the 20's destroyed what could of been a very strong democracy. The 1930's and the depression brought out the worst in the mainlanders. I agree that Japan did a lot of very bad things in…
