In Okinawa, Japan, 90,000 plus people protested on Sunday about the relocation of a U.S. air base on their land. Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama has promised to reduce the amount of the U.S. military on the island but his attempts have been unsuccessful thus far as all propositions have been rejected by the U.S. However, there is talk of a new plan but official information is unknown. So far speculations have been that they will move part of the base to a smaller, less populated part of northern Okinawa as well as a smaller island to the north of Okinawa. Another idea is that the air base will be moved to an artificial island off the coast.
