And today, a half-century later, U.S. forces are still there--overwhelmingly and abrasively in Okinawa, and less blatantly throughout the rest of the Japanese archipelago. If the occupation of Japan offers any lesson for the present [May 2003] situation in Iraq, it is probably this spectacle of interminable entanglement. It is easier to move the viceroys and armies into foreign territory than to get them out."
