		<description>Oh I also wanted to add to the person who said the U.S. does a lot of good in Japan too I think you&#039;re right as well so that&#039;s why I think it should be up to the country themselves and what their reps say to do.  If the U.S. really is doing a lot more good than harm in these country&#039;s than we shouldn&#039;t be afraid of letting those specific country&#039;s decide.  I know if the situation was reversed I&#039;d feel the same way.</description>

		<description>Hi Mr Pav,
I one day earlier this week found your Youtube channel and have enjoyed your video&#039;s and saw an older video of yours and saw the website url at the end of it so I decided to come by and see what&#039;s up.  I&#039;m sad to see incidents like this happen.  :(  Personally it&#039;s my belief that every country is a sovereign nation whether the world considers them industrialized or not and they all have a say over what happens with their country and if they really want the U.S. military presence (or any country  for that matter)  out of their country than they should do whatever procedure they need to do to make the decision.  Now if I&#039;m remembering my history correctly the U.S. government is the only country who keeps a military presence in a country they&#039;ve been in.   I don&#039;t think we have Japan in our country at military bases do we?  Not the last time I checked anyways.  :)   Speaking of which on a sorta same related note if you&#039;re interested in documentaries check out &quot;The War on Democracy&quot; by John Pilger.  It&#039;s a great documentary that you can find on youtube.com I believe.</description>

		<description>So how come this positive press

http://www.okinawa.usmc.mil/Public%20Affairs%20Info/Archive%20News%20Pages/2008/080314-help.html

doesn&#039;t make big news?!?!

Why does the Japanese media always hit the bad stuff?
How many orphanages have miltary members throughout Japan supported every year?  In Tokyo, there&#039;s a group at Yokota that feeds the homeless regularly--of course, they don&#039;t publicize this because it&#039;s embarrassing to the GoJ that we&#039;re feeding their homeless.</description>

		<description>bk, no need for name calling.

The issue is that on one side the Okinawans see the American military presence on their island as a threat to their safety, and on the other side the American military appears to be either unable or uninterested in mitigating that perceived threat. Personally, I think it&#039;s impossible to prevent members of the military stationed here from occasionally committing crimes, both minor and major.</description>

		<description>I have been here for 23 years and this is all bull.  Yes some
americans screwed up and will be punished.  But how many
DUI&#039;s have the locals had this year?  How many rapes and cases
of  molestation have happened this year?  The screwed up
Americans that do these things make all americans here look
bad.  One stat that I received was their were 1088 rapes in
2006 committed by the Japanese.  We also know that Okianwa
has the most DUI&#039;s in Japan.  So you should tell both sides.

		<description>This is only the second such incident, is it not?  The the news item that occurred between the two rapes in Okinawa was the indictment for four Marines in Iwakuni for a rape that allegedly occurred in Hiroshima in October of last year, but that the prosecutor declined to pursue.
