Minju Joson Tuesday observes in a signed commentary in this regard:

The U.S. and Japan finally clinched the deal on the transfer of U.S. forces, a controversial issue between the two countries. This brought to daylight the true colors of the Naoto Kan regime as political servants of the U.S. busy pleasing their American master quite contrary to the people's mind-set.

Subservience to the U.S. is the nature peculiar to Japan and a deep-seated bad habit.

The successive Japanese regimes have been censured by the world public for being political waiting maids for the U.S. and political pigmies as they pursued the policy of sycophancy and subservience to the U.S., kowtowing to it.

Hatoyama advocated "independence" in the policy toward the U.S., chiding the Liberal Democratic Party for enforcing the policy of toeing the U.S. line for decades, and bragged that he would transfer the U.S. military base in Futenma outside Okinawa Prefecture or overseas as strongly demanded by not only the people of the prefecture but also other Japanese. This helped him come to power. But it was before long that he behaved quite contrary to their expectations.

Finally, he met a miserable fate of being hit by the bullets shot by the Japanese people and the U.S. as he turned his coat readily to prolong the days of his political career bereft of his political principle.

Naoto Kan is also becoming mean in his attitude towards his American master to please him, oblivious of the bitter lesson taught by his predecessor who was ousted from power for being subservient to the U.S. This indicates that the Naoto Kan regime is also following the policy of subservience to the U.S.

It is the historical truth that the Japanese government is bound to short-live as it is enforcing politics to please his American master, bereft of any political principle and independence, forsaken by the people.
