American have heavy influence even in Japanese foreign policies, not to mention those small islands that rely on America for aid.

interisting article but HEAVLY biased against US, aus, and NZ as it falis to included the peace keeping operations and aid done by australia. i cant say for sure about NZ and US but I think they have done some stuff for the islands to.
those little facts alone throw out the credibility of the entire article. other wise there is some interesting facts in there.

The question I have is if it were not the big three dominating the area would these people be free. I think not. Isolated pockets of people around the world are getting caught with their pants off ha ha. It is not pleasant to watch but I think eventually levels of existence should even out.
