Alright, I have found some more interesting material about U.S. bases in Japan.

First of all, see the petition of the Okinawan governor (http://www2.pref.okinawa.jp/oki/okinawa.nsf/98ec0e16075d27aa492567340044e504/0f50f7d9309e25c549256946002dad79?OpenDocument) in regard to a possible revision of the Japan-U.S. Status of Force Agreement. Check out the web site of the Okinawa Prefecture (http://www2.pref.okinawa.jp/oki/okinawa.nsf/(doc)/9EEBEB11530D2CB949256930000F8D01) for more articles and outlines.

Then, there's an article by the Japanese Communist Party entitled Problems of U.S. Military Bases in Okinawa (http://www.jcp.or.jp/tokusyu/okinawa/Okinawa.pdf) ( a .pdf file, worth reading!).

Last not least, an older artcile by The Atlantic Online, entitled Japan: Let Them Defend Themselves (http://www.theatlantic.com/issues/89apr/defend.htm).

All in all, a well-balanced, good read. Don't call us biased! :)

Found the web sites of two Okinawan grass-root organizations struggling against the U.S. military presence on the islands:

=> Nago-Okinawa Peace Cyber Circle (http://www.japanreference.com/cgi-bin/jump.cgi?ID=3719)

=> Red Card Movement (http://www.japanreference.com/cgi-bin/jump.cgi?ID=3718)
