The US is "in" (not occupying) most of those places you cite because of military bases. Didn't the Filipinos tell us to leave (at least one military base) and we did? Puerto Rico has had referendums on independence and so far, no. Rumsfeld has been making noises about moving at least some of the military presence out of Germany and S. Korea (which apparently did an about-face and said no no don't leave). We need military bases around the world, but that's a far cry from "occupying".
