Okinawa and Other Pacific Rim Security Issues

I  think it's time for the United States to consider asking our Asian allies to consider the possibility of creating a Pacific Rim Security Alliance (PRSA) to counter the threat posed by North Korea's continued provacation and the real threat of radical Islamic terrorism in Islamic countries in Southwest Asia. I also beleive that it would be in the best interest of the United States if they were to approach the governments of Japan and South Korea to adopt a more agressive stance with respect to developing a standing military force in their countries.It is apparent that we must put diplomacy aside and consider the threat of an increasing milistaric North Korea real. I don't think that the Chinese government appreciates the predicament they have along their southern border with North Korea. Just as Chinese aid and troops flowed south during the Korean Conflict, there is a genuine concern that there will be an invasion of civilian refugees moving north if North Korea were to make good on their threat to invade the south. Mind you, I'm not an expert in strategic studies or international relations. However,  I do believe that the Japanese people must consider the fact that in order for the United States to minimize its presence in Japan, they must be open to the possible development of a unified military force that can shoulder most if not all of the security burden presented by current events in the region. They can't demand that American forces leave Okinawa without shouldering more of the burden for their own security. Considering the fact that we forced Japan to accept a post-war constitution that virtually dismantled their military, we forced them to accept our offer of "military assistance". If Japan wants us out, then they should shoulder the burden of defending themselves.
