Will Japanese drive Marines off Okinawa?

No, this is not a repeat from 1945, in this current day and age many Okinawan people are unhappy with the continued presence of a Marine air base in the middle of what is now a high population area. The marines want to move the base to another, less populated part of the island and the islanders want the Marines to just go away. The current election for island governor may determine the eventual outcome. Then again Tokyo and Washington may gang up to crush the nascent island rights movement.
