This article makes me feel bad for the Okinawans. First we kick them out of their own land and then they get tortured and executed by their own government.
Throughout his speech he talks about the history of U.S. opression on the Okinawans but then at the end of speech he asks the U.S. government " a partner in the Security Treaty and a nation known for its respect for democracy and human rights - will take the initiative in these painful issues."
If we are a nation known for our respect of democracy and human rights, why does our history of acquiring foreign military bases suggest the opposite, as Ota talks about in his speech?
