Ranger_Miffy2, fly UAL or Air New Zealand, true the other airlines have these pretty young girls but they do not a thing for me. Elbuda Mexicano, I did not see Fosters in Aussie land, nor an outback steak house. My bud told me to order a pint of bitter.

Just see a sad story, one that could happen to any one of us.

Do not think she got due process from the Malaysian government. She was going through the country and not staying. Seems more and more like a set up job to me. In any event it is my privilege not to visit or buy the products of any country for any reason.

Fadamor, can agree with you on this one. Think it should be a learning experience for the young man and others. He should only get the civilian sentence that is typical for a local Okinawa person. Just hope the US Military does not ruin him for a case of stupid. Am much more amused by this than shocked, it is to the militaries credit it does not happen more often.

Elbuda Mexicano, well you have a right to your view. Remember when you ask for mercy and are denied it, what you are writing today. I am against the death penalty and especially for non violent crimes. Means the criminals have nothing to lose and will resist arrest or do whatever it takes to keep it a secret. Again I am against this for all people and not just Japanese people. Yes if she is killed require Japanese companies to relocate elsewhere like the Philippine islands. Second issue an advisory saying visiting or transiting Malaysia is dangerous due to corrupt police. No reason to stop there really, Emirates has a nonstop flight from Dubai to Osaka Kansai.

Fadamor, you seem kind of rough on the young man. If a young Okinawa person did this would not even make the news. So he got drunk disagreed with the taxi driver, then got in a shoving match with the hotel guard. Good chance the guard was drunk as well and then took the guards phone. The press is making too much of it, send him back to the military and let them discipline him. From my point of view this is a nothing. Equal treatment of all perps

sqwak, the group here is showing about zero empathy. Would you be in favor of hanging all felony criminals? How about misdemeanor ones as well?

Fadamor, so the people of Okinawa are slaves to the Japanese people? Might as well appoint a Japanese governor to rule their possession. Eliminate voting, city councils, the Prefecture assembly as unneeded. Tokyo can just appoint all of the Okinawa "leaders" and the people of Okinawa would have to do what they are told. So the American troops are to protect their "freedom" but according to your thinking there is none. Bud, what you write would work in China, Korea or Russia but by God the people of Okinawa are free! We are a part of Japan as an equal Prefecture, not as second class people!

American Brand cars are bad and getting worse despite propaganda from the press. As always it is "patriotic" for consumers to buy garbage American Brand cars.

The punishment is too harsh for the crime. I am against this no matter where the suspect comes from and whatever their gender. It is just WRONG!

smithinjapan, well the government of Okinawa does not feel the need to honor the promises of the national government. promises that they had no part in making. What is happening in Okinawa would never happen in America. No American state would put up with this nonsense. Second, the new airbase will not help defend Okinawa. Just a training airfield and you are mistaken, once again the Marines are going nowhere and MCAS Futenma will not close, even if this new airfield is made.

My other post was deleted, what I wanted to say is there is three levels of law. One for Muslims, one for Christians and another for the rest. I would not be surprised if this was all a setup by the government, so they could hang a Japanese citizen. I do not trust Malaysia and think they are among the most corrupt governments on Earth.

If she is executed Japan need to punish them somehow. I favor trade tariffs of 200% and not allowing Japanese companies from having factories there. Move them out of country like to the Phillipe Islands.

issa1, I understand and wonder myself what is best. Am not stating my own opinion but what I think is that of the Govorner and Okinawa Assembly. Having things rammed down your throat by Tokyo is disagreeable at best. They do not have Okinawa's best interest in mind. I do not see the Marines moving to Guam and do not even see MCAS Futenma closing. It is all just a big bait and switch. Look you keep saying the government keep its agreement. Okinawa never agreed to the new air base, it was the Japanese in Tokyo. They want to keep the agreement but are being prevented from doing it. Again the people of Okinawa are not the slaves of Tokyo or Washington. No means NO! The Americans in Okinawa are suppose to protect our "freedom" but they take away our basic freedoms doing such.

issa1, where else would they have built their homes? There is not a lot of available land on Okinawa. Still Panetta San, how is the Japanese government going to force the government of Okinawa to do anything? Just give up on it sir! you are not going to win! What I think does not matter the harder the brave Okinawa people push, the harder they will push back.

smithinjapan, lets see the governor of Okinawa opposes the plan, the legislature of Okinawa opposes the plan, the Mayor of Nago City opposes the plan and the people of Henoko oppose the plan. Trouble with your thinking is the facts do not back you up. If the majority of the Okinawa people wanted the bases it would be reflected in their government. If the people are pro base the Governor would be pro base. So what will the Americans do about this fact? Send in the troops again to take away the land from the Okinawa people? My mum told me about how they were herded into camps. True luxury was having dibs on the Americans garbage. You say it is a "minority", I can show you as fact it is the majority.

kaketama, you need to separate Japan and Okinawa and the people of Okinawa do not hate Americans or their military. They do hate for Japan to dictate to them what to do. The people of Okinawa are suppose to be free and not slaves to the main lander.
