So long as they have a legal right to be there - which they do, agreements signed under duress or not - the Okinawans had better think of other ways to curb the behaviour of the base personnel. Maybe try the Cuban solution - utter isolation of the base from the rest of the island.

Did the Cubans isolate the bases or did the US military isolate the bases.
