#1 ...Base it at Guam. That will drive the PRC nuts without anybody to put political pressure on.

#3 Soooo, they are afraid of Nuclear subs, but all the nuclear power plants are OK? Anyone else getting the anti-american slant on this, or is it just me?

#5 I wonder if the basing of a carrier in Toyko bay is "not optional" by a treaty stating Japan will allow it in perpetuity. That might prove interesting.

#6 GoTo -- isn't that a programming command?

My advise to GoTo & Co. Is it US or Chinese nukes that bother you?

#7 Fish or cut bait. If the Japanese would rather have oil fired carrier protection, build a fleet of their own.

#8 A Navy PA Officer should inform the Japanese that we don't have clandestine members of Aum Shinrikyo running around the reactor spaces, so there shouldn't be a problem.

#9 A Jewish man sees an oriental enter a bar where he is drinking, and punches him. The sore victim asks, "What was that for?" The Jew answers, "That was for Pearl Harbor." The victim replies, "The Japs bombed Pearl Harbor, and I am Chinese." The Jew came back, "Japanese, Chinese, what's the difference? The Chinaman then belts the Jew, who asks, "What was t?" The Chinaman says, "That was for the Titanic." The Jew responded, "The Titanic was sunk by an iceberg." The Chinaman trumped, "Iceberg, Goldberg, what's the difference?"

If you laugh, then you are a politically incorrect racist who needs to be placed in a re-education camp and fed: Soylent Green (which is_____).

#10 All these Japanese activists need to start campaigning against nuclear power in Japan.
They must demand the dismantlement of Japanese reprocessing plants and arrange for transfer of entire plutonium stocks to USA and Russia.
This will remove the option of weaponization that Japan has carefully nurtured while preaching about disarmament.
Finally Japan must build more fossil fuel plants.
All those nuke power plants should go.

#11 "So it doesn't take much for them to realize that the idea of having one floating on a military ship in Tokyo Bay, near a huge population center, is really frightening."

Japan is one of the most typhoon, earthquake, tsunami, and volcano prone countries that exists in the world. Masahiko Goto's attitude reminds of the lassie-faire attitude that we had before 9-11. The biggest news story in the U.S. before 9-11, was that endangered species were found thriving in California Red Wood trees. Then 9-11 happened.

When a stray Chinese (test) missile or a giant earthquake were to strike Japan in the near future, these signatures will disappear faster than Hillary's friendship with Martha Stewart.

"so sorry, so sorry, so sorry Evil USA- please please park all nuclear vessels you want but please help us, there are thousands dead."

Nah... Chandra Levy and Gary Condit affair, and increasing shark attacks were the big stories the morning of 9-11. I was watching the news live that morning and remember it vividly.
