economic survival

For Tokyo, Washington ensured Japan's economic survival and progress and prevented the Soviet Union and other powerful states from manipulating it. For Washington, Tokyo provided the United States with a vital strategic outpost on the edge of the Asian landmass and above the resource-rich islands of Southeast Asia. U.S. ties to Japan were crucial to Washington during the wars in Korea and Vietnam, in addition to other U.S. interventions in Southeast Asia. As the U.S. State Department writes, "Japan provides bases and financial and material support to U.S. forward-deployed forces, which are essential for maintaining stability in the region."
This mutually exclusive relationship was one of the prime reasons why Japan was willing to support the U.S.-led occupation of Iraq. In recent weeks, Koizumi candidly announced this strategic relationship as the prime example for Japan's involvement in Iraq: "The U.S. is Japan's only ally, and it is striving very hard to build a stable and democratic government in Iraq. Japan must be a trustworthy ally to the United States."
