Dear People of the World (formerly Dear Americans)

50 days after the departure from Yokosuka base since the deployment in September, the dangerous and troublesome ship came back.

CVN 73, USS George Washinton, Nuclear Aircraft Carrier which navigate by nuclear reactors. They are deployed in Yokosuka which is near Japan's capital Tokyo.

They know they are not welcome by the citizens in Yokosuka.

Then they came up with very stupid idea, that is inventing "Navy Burger" and release it as the city's new highlighted good like "Navy Curry" whose recipe is modeled after Japanese imperial navy's curry meal and it has been popular for many years.

The mayor and chief commander of Yokosuka base jointly presented the burger to be released next year.

American beef would be contained? No thanks, I don't want to get mad cow disease. Even it contains safe Aussie beef like McDonald in Japan. I still want to refuse it. Not only because I am not hamberger eater but I keep resisting CVN 73, George Washington because of the fear of radioactive release by an accident or earthquake.  

They have done similar thing already such as free stupid comic books, which the story is untrue and very propagated.

Do they think people are easily distracted by such foolish event?

The only way they can be welcome is cancel the deployment and leave Japan as soon as possible.

Well, what we can do is demand our government to stop funding foreign troops stationed only for cheaper expense.

Dear Jim,

Interesting fact: China is largest foreign owner of U.S. treasury bonds. Japan is No.2 owner.

China buys more U.S. goods such as Boeing and intel chips than Japan does. Everyone knows that the U.S. wouldn't help Japan even if China attacks Japan. U.S. commander, Mr. Keating said they would like to help Chinese army build aircraft carriers. Great! We would be defended by the army that is helping our enemy.

"Look, we've sailed Navy ships around the world for 60 years with nuclear power plants on them. We can store and reprocess spent nuclear fuel, Senator Obama, no problem." concerning energey crisis on last presidential debate.

Yes, he is right. There are 10 nuclear aircraft carriers that belong to the U.S. Navy. One of them is CVN 73, George Washington, which was deployed in Yokosuka city, 20 miles from Japan's capital Tokyo. We don't like it. The ship should go back to its homeland, not the country whose people don't like it much. I hate it. It is dangerous and making me nervous. If it breaks, estimated 1.6 million people would die by leaked radiation.

 It should be used for the generation of cities, rather than military purpose. The nuclear powered ship on the sea is very, very dangerous. It costs much more than conventional ship. The reactors should be transformed to fit the plants on the ground.

Although I do not support nuclear power as substitute for oil, it is much better to be used for generation for inland cities .

McCain said "reprocess spent nuclear fuel." That is not practical any more. A lot of countries failed. It costs so much money and pollute the land around the reprocessing factories. However, unspent nuclear fuel inside the ships should be used by stopping the navigation and dismantling the ships. It is time to do that. Use the energey for the daily life not for the military. Let the troops back on the shores.

The U.S. is now in historical financial crisis, they have to reduce military spending dramatically. They cannot afford stationing their troops abroad. Foreign nations including my country are not generous lending their lands for the U.S. military any more.

Whether Obama or McCain becomes president of the U.S., what they have to do is rethink their military policy which has been failing.

No more nuclear ships! Let's make the world safe by abondaning such dangerous ships!

The U.S economy has been known as largest in the world.

But just recently it collapsed dramatically. Well, the time has come.

Most of the U.S. GDP, which is largest in the world comes from consumption, not production.

They buy many things from abroad. How come that is possible for people who don't produce so much buy goods from abroad? 

It is because foreign countries lend them money buying U.S. treasury bonds. The biggest owner today is China.

They just print dollar bills if they have to pay the debts back because the U.S. dollar has been the world's key currency. Every country in the world uses that.

But the dollar value is just depreciating. And then this subprime loan crisis hit the economy. No one can rely on the U.S. economy.

Now the world is reconsidering how to deal with the U.S.

The U.S. is no longer supepower of the world. No country can be like that any more.

The U.S. is softlanding to be one of big countries in the world. President Obama would be the symbol of non-superpower America.

Maybe that is normalization of the world.    

That may be the beginning of interesting era of human history.

After all the criticism and protests, the ship came, most dangerous ship in the world, CVN73 George Washington arrived in Yokosuka port on 25 of September, 2008. Yokosuka is 20 miles away from Japan's capital, Tokyo.

They've got a fire incident during the navigation on the sea near South America and the deployment was delayed for more than a month for the repairment. It contains nuclear reactor and is navigated by nuclear power.

Citiznes in Tokyo capital region including me have to live with fear of nuclear accident like Chernobyl from now on.

Why is it deployed in Japan? To counter the threat of Chinese navy.

What? Isn't China No.1 owner of U.S. Treasury bonds? They buy Boeing airplanes, Motorolla cellphones and other U.S. goods. They buy more than Japan does.

The U.S. navy commander said the navy is ready to help China build new aircraft carrier.

Are we protected from China by the country which is financially supported by China, deals big business with China and sell weapons to China?

This is just stupid. Well, after all, this is Japanese government's fault. Only if they could oppose the deployment, the U.S. wouldn't want to do that. They use bases in Japan as cheaper facilities because we are providing aid to them. Once Japanese government stops funding them, they would not want to use the bases.

Well, what we have to do is continue protesting and letting the ship go back home as soon as possible. Even mayor of Yokosuka said "I welcome the crews but not the ship."
