What do you think 'Asia's' response will be to increased US military presence? Will it be regarded as a 'guarantor of peace' or threatening to the stability of the region?

I suppose that some at the extremes will view it as one or the other, most somewhere in between.

Ultimately this will be decided by the manner in which the US decides to implement the decision to project more power into Asia. It will have to be largely naval: there are few permanent bases in the area, and little prospect for adding new ones or expanding the existing ones. The emphasis on cooperating with local forces is a possibility, but it will make it difficult to actually use force without the approval of other nations in the region. This in turn will require a degree of multilateralism that many in the US may find hard to accomodate.

We shall see.
