America should leave. It is obvious that the Japanese people do not want the American forces there. They should leave and save themselves billions of dollars that it costs them to be there. Wikipedia is not a scholarly or trustable source. Anyone can write something on wikipedia. North Korea has recently been in close contact with China and has been receiving aid from China. It has not been said what North Korea has received from China. Korea may not have the capability to reproduce their weapons, but China most definitely does have that capability and China does not exactly like Japan all that much. THis whole situation is so shady. There has been nothing but mixed answers from both sides and it is getting tiring and very annoying. It basically comes down to finding out what Japan actually wants. Enough of the "we want to be more independent but still wan the us to be the cornerstone for japanese diplomacy." Enough of the political circling around the issue and deal with it. The fact that Japanese government officials are saying conflicting things on the issue is ridiculous. What kind of self respect can you have if you send the people and other governments mixed messages constantly? (The US government is good at that too...)If Japan's self defense force is so great than why is the US in Japan? They should just leave.

panzerkampwagen: I think its funny that you do not realize just how much Japan needs the US military. First of all, Japan basically has no army. Who defends japan? Oh thats right the US does. So unless you want to defend your own sorry butt quit complaining. You act as if Japan is doing the US a favor by allowing the US to have bases on Okinawa. The only thing Japan does for those bases is pay Japanese workers that work on the bases. With North Korea nocking on your door ever so often with their missile launches and detonation of their new nuclear bomb it's no wonder Japan doesn't want to piss off the US and wants them to be "the cornerstone" of Japanese diplomatic relations. Such a crock!!!
