Hauerwas is a volatile, complex person with an explosive personality and high-energy style. For many, he is an unlikely pacifist. He insists that Christians should exemplify a radical message of peace. Hauerwas learned this lesson from the Anabaptist theologian John Howard Yoder. Hauerwas has respect for a position known as the just-war perspective, a mode of reflection on war's occasional tragic necessity, either for self-defense or to protect those who might otherwise be slaughtered.

...answer to Takazato's plea is that the issue is a lot larger than Okinawa, as unsatisfying or patronizing as that may sound to the Okinawans. Japan's nominally pacifist postwar constitution paved the way for the U.S. to establish a military beachhead in the land of its World War II enemy. Okinawa, by virtue of geography, suits American purposes because it is near the Korean peninsula and the rest of Asia. It suits Tokyo's in two ways: the U.S. presence reduces Japan's need for fielding its own army, and it segregates a substantial portion of the American...
