News and current affairs

The proposed deployment of an additional 2,500 Marines in Australia is largely symbolic.

While commentators have charged that Britain capitulated to Iran and handed them a humiliating victory in obtaining the release of the 15 British Marines last week, it would appear that something more like the opposite is actually the case.

No one knows exactly why the naval wing of the IRGC took the 15 British Marines captive at the end of March.

It is important to remember: those who were responsible for taking the British Marines captive wanted an escalation of the confrontation, both to improve their domestic standing, and to punch back for sanctions that were beginning to bite.

True, no rebel troops are yet besieging Harare, no US warship with 2000 marines hovers on the horizon, and President George W. Bush has not demanded that President Robert Mugabe step down after 23 years in office.

Australia has established a base for marines in Darwin and another for unmanned spy planes on the Cocos Islands.

President Barack Obama's decision to rotate 2,500 US Marines through a base in northern Australia is an early sign of that pivot.

Although, the Saudi security forces, the National Guard, and the marines crushed the rebellion, the domestic tensions that fueled it remain.

Last spring, 200 US Marines arrived in Darwin, Australia, for the first six-month rotation to serve and train alongside Australian troops and operate with regional partners.

Other issues concern the basing of US marines in Okinawa and sharing the costs of moving some to Guam.

Yet, during the DPJ's election campaign, Hatoyama vowed to eliminate the Marines' presence on Okinawa.

Clearly, whoever was responsible for the decision to take the British Marines prisoner was hoping to rekindle some of the fervor of the 1979 revolution, and use that to force the rest of the leadership into a confrontation with Britain and America.

Logically, Ozawa's approach involves a significant military buildup, but he remains silent about how to maintain effective deterrence once the US Marines leave Okinawa.

Kan's status quo approach to alliance management won't hold up long, because Hatoyama's bungling has inflated Okinawans' expectations about evicting the Marines.

Hence, the first symbolic step was to get the US to move its marines from Okinawa, an island that has carried the burden of a US military presence for much too long.

The stationing of US Marines in northern Australia thus appears pointless: these troops have no conceivable reason to be there.
