It has been 50 years now in 2010 since the U.S. and Japan first reached their security alliance. This alliance was a huge deal considering the two were at war during World War II. On that anniversary both sides might want to look into ways that they can strengthen the alliance. Certainly both sides do not always agree on how to handle things together, but the key here is that they try and realize that they both should want each others interests to be important.

Strengthening that alliance could be really important as well considering both countries face tough times as each others economies stay troubled. Sure, in both the US and Japan things are starting to look up, but both countries are struggling with jobs. It’s been difficult to put the people that want to work to work that have been out of a job for quite some time, for example.

So you must understand that these alliances can be a very important to not only the nation’s security but to our economy as well. If we were to break apart from the relationship, our country could possibly struggle more economically. And at this point most people would probably agree that they do not want that.
