Japan paid a dear price for the war. A country in ruin, over 7 million dead. Then there were the war criminals hung over 1000 of them. The thing was settled in 1965 with the treaty. Compensation was paid and it should of ended things. As for apologizing the people of Okinawa never received one for the Japanese soldiers killing and raping. No compensation was ever paid. To the people of Korea, GET OVER IT! You have your freedom from Japan, not every one can claim that.

The United States is not at war. When did congress declare war and against whom? As for the information while embarrassing was it really secret?

Japan has paid compensation to the Korean government. The legal Korean government of the time. Thus Korea needs to pay any compensation.

issa1, that happened in another country. The Okinawa people know about death and destruction. 100,000 plus civilians dead, so much of the land and infrastructure in ruins. Then the occupation of our country by foreign troops that continues to this day. So what part of America was invaded and is occupied by the "foe"?

My apologies to the actor, he has discovered no matter how much you agree with Beijing. Going against them on the smallest matter makes you their foe. The People of Republic of China is made up of thugs. As much a danger to the Chinese people as others.

NetNinja, am sad that you have been mistreated in Japan, does that include Okinawa? So give me the skinny, who did what to you? You must understand that many people including moi never believed the American when they said they will close the bases or move the Marines. There is always another condition to be meet. Their function has to be replaced on Okinawa first and my guess is the new airfield is not enough. If it is finished nothing will get closed or moved. I have live around American my entire life and I know their tricks.

yasukuni, YUP! It was an American decision that gave the Ryukyu Kingdom to Japan instead of China. Best we could hope for is China taking over the American bases and given a very limited form of self government. So Okinawa will still be occupied and a military target. I would rather things remain the same.

lincolnman, nobody from Okinawa signed the 2006 agreement. It was clear to Tokyo the people of Okinawa were against the agreement. No American state would tolerate this sort of treatment. At 900,000 dollars American per soldier the move to Guam is too expensive. What the frack costs so much to house the troops? Been to Guam is is sort of a dull place catering to tourists from Japan. Lots of bars and a beach, not a lot more except bases like Anderson. It is a big mostly empty place. Lots of space for 10 thousand Marines and their families. Did some math and they are spending 50 thousand dollars for each person on Guam. Am against this agreement because it just STINKS. A big payoff to the Americans with not much to show for it. Not one base really closes, they are just moved around a bit. Migrating north like a bird.

It was settled in 65, the current government is bound by the agreements of the old. Otherwise what is the point of making agreements? I feel no need to apologize to these women. They can go and frack themselves. South Korea is free from Japan unlike others.

CHuan, where do you get your material? Senkakus belonged to the Ryukyu Kingdom before they were annexed by Japan. Thus they are part of Japan. There have never been any Chinese living on those islands while Japanese lived there for at least 40 years. About our cousins in China, I bear them no ill will. However there talk of war and payback makes me nervous. Did you know I am part Chinese? Some of my ancestors came from China. It is my deepest wish we can live in peace with China. The resources around these islands belong to the people of Okinawa. To the leaders of China please stop sending ships into the disputed zones.

Fadamor, it is not the amount of protestors but the people who do not show up. Most people are too busy to attend. Look at the elections in the past years. Give me the names of the "pro base" politicians in Okinawa.

yourock, What do you know about Okinawa schools during the American occupation? I see the patrol ship as an agent provoker for the Chinese government. For political purposes the Chinese government has piled the dry wood and vegetation high. All it will take is a single spark (incident) and it will be all out war.

Fadamor, most Okinawan people do not hate Americans. It is there are so many of them and their bases hinder our road system. Then Tokyo and Washington come up with a plan without our input and expect the Okinawan people to give their quiet obedient submission. Well it has been 15 years since the first NO and they have not learned. OH FYI most people in the protests are Okinawan people, not Japanese. Do the math dude, It would take about 10 747s to move 5000 to Okinawa. 50,000 people would make the number 100 and the airline does not have that many. Then add in the elections, the "pro base" candidates have gone down in defeat. NetNinja, if the American government considers Japan as foes then Japan should consider America a foe. Nothing worse than letting a foe freely in your camp. Though I do not think America thinks Japan is a foe. Please stop spreading misinformation.

The islands belong to Okinawa and at this time it is a part of Japan. War will happen when one or more countries makes a mistake. The Chinese are gearing their population for war with propaganda. Either the Americans will support Japan or not. If they do not support Japan then article 9 has to go and with that the Americans. Time to rearm and add the dreaded deterrent force. Why would they risk their cities for Japanese cities? This is a crossroads in history. There is a lot more at stake than a few small islands.

smithinjapan, what would you have the politicians in Tokyo do? They would have to change the law which will draw the ire of the other Prefecture governors. So what can they do? This is why the money for Guam is being withdrawn.

smithinjapan, am giving into reality. Also I finally realized why the helicopters and Marines are on Okinawa. I never pictured the other islands needing defense. As for complaining I am just a single person who moved to get away from the noise. As I said I took your advice, any questions?
