Why is the news of a plan to move 7,000 US Marine troops from southern Okinawa to Guam creating no good vibes in Okinawa? Because nothing much is changing. The Japanese Government is proceeding with construction of a new US Marine Corps Air Station in Nago, to 'replace' the old Futenma base. Throughout the last decade, locals have resolutely fought the US military presence. Period. However, Tokyo and Washington have basically ridden roughshod over locals' democratic expression of opposition, including, the outcome of the 1997 Nago citizens' referendum against the relocation of Futenma to Henoko and, since April 2004, residents' non-violent blockade action to prevent the government's preliminary site investigations and ocean floor drilling
