We all know he did it. Indictment makes sense. Probably he even did not think to help civilian as he is a trained soldier his real job is to kill.

One of his options might be that Japan does not renew the security treaty with the US this November, so Japan does not have to find another relocation of Futenma air base.

S Korea and N Korea are still at war. That is all simple. No wonder about this.

Japanese cars recalled, Japanese refrigerators recalled, Japanese needles recalled...what does that tell you about Japanese products???

Only 3 kinds? Not bad, there are more than thousands of kinds. These all will be fixed soon. I think all small/big parts are not always made in Japan.

Yes because everytime China starts the saber rattling, the US sends an Aircraft Carrier from were? That's right Yokosuka, Japan!

Therefore Japan does not need Futenma air base anywhere in Okinawa. Japan needs only some Air force bases and Navy bases, not Marine air base and no marines in Japan.

What Hatoyama said is very understandable and reasonable. The will of Okinawans should be respected. Japan does not need to decide it in a big hurry during peace time. Japan wants to have the US bases in Okinawa to prevent the potential war but the US wants to put bases…

China might be dangerous to Japan, N Korea might be dangerous to Japan, Russia might be dangerous. Look at Taiwan, It has NO US base there. China did not invade it although China had a lot of chances to invade it in the past. Japan would be no problem without…

Okinawans do not want Futenma base because it is very very dangerous base, too close to residents. That's why they do not want it. Who will decide policy of US facility and base? it is surely Japan and Okinawa, not the US at all unfortunately. As I said, the time…

As long as Okinawans do not want it, Japan would have to change something better. The US can not do this forever because it did it for more than 50 years. The time has changed.

Japan does NOT say all US military support or all bases. Japan said it does not want one base of Futenma air base, "just one base", All bases except one base will remain same in Japan as same as before. I don't think it it too much to ask the…
