The US really wants to continue to keep present large US bases in Okinawa whatever happens, even if US and Japan disagreed finally about Futenma base relocation. It seems that the US wants to keep them there even if without large amount of money support from J government, or they…

david1-5 - Your message is very understandable. Japan seems to have more benefit while US bases keep staying but not much benefit or advantage for the US. In spite of it, Why does the US want to put large US bases in Japan? The US seems to be wasting a…

Not enough for hub airport. J government does not have political power to kick farmers out of there and maybe could have made more longer runways there as hub airport long time ago if used force.

I think that China and other Asian countries would like US bases to keep in Japan but not too many, not too heavy, as there are too many US bases all over in Japan, especially too heavy concentration in Okinawa. Why the US wants them in Japan? Ready for another…

ptolemy - Yes, Afghanistan is very far away from Japan, but I've heard US soldiers flew (or flying) to Afghanistan from Okinawa US bases. If so, the US seems to be using Japan for potential act of war. During 10 years Vietnam's war, the US used Okinawa US bases like…

ptolemy - I just wonder why Americans are going dying for Afghanistan. so far more than 4000 US soldiers died. Is there any peace treaty between US and Afghanistan? If not, why are Americans dying there? Afghanistan rather might send terrorists to the US.

noborito - Yes, Japan really welcomes almost everything but except military things, nuclear weapons, etc, etc. I think Japanese still remember tragedy of the war. And Big thanks for article #9 given by the US.
