Japan and the present crisis there.

I know my answer is out of the question but I wish no country should ever build any nuclear power plant anymore! So going back to the question, I will say yes but it will take time. What we have left is optimism, faith and dignity so might as well invest with those than dwell on negativism. Philippines has its own devastation in the form of poverty and corruption. Japan may even rise sooner than Philippines fixing its system

I think Japan can fully recover. They have a strong love for their country, they are intelligent and well disciplined. I think we should all wish well for Japan's recovery.

I think its very ironic that they would have a nuclear accident considering they were the first to really feel the brunt of the atomic bomb. We have seen the destruction at 3 mile island and the horrific results of chernolbyl. There are also cases in the states and canada relating to an increase in cancer cases around nuclear waste sites. You would think that the world would learn how toxic and dangerous nuclear energy and power is. Still in Canada they are thinking of building more nuclear power plants. My heart goes out to Japan. My sister-in-law is from Japan. I went to Japan for her marriage to my brother and met many of her family and friends. I know many good people there who were very kind to me. I was immediately concerned when I heard about the diaster. I lookedu p their area online to see if it had been affected. Luckily my sister-in-law's family was okay. However she still hasn't heard from all her friends. One friend's home was destroyed but he was alive.

hi doctordidi I am sure my country the USA is going to donate money ,food,clothes and food to Japan and probably most of the other larger nations too.Yes we all should help Japan as she has been almost decimated by these disasters.

Hello Doctordidi, Well, they did the best they could at that time to make this Nuclear Power plant safe as far as their knowledge is concern. but knowing how old this Power PLant is, i believe that it really has shown it's obsoleteness. that's why it took them time before they could try to keep it from going melt down. but the radiation has completely come out but not as much damage.we can't consider Nuclear Fission Plants because of radiation risk.

I agree. Japan has surpassed a lot of challenges, though the atomic bomb and the earthquake are 2 different matters. The atomic bomb was because they went into war. Not that I'm saying that they deserve it, but it was a consequence of their action (pearl harbor). The earthquake, is something that wasn't expected and I really don't think that it's a consequence of their action. I believe that the international community is helping Japan cope.

Someone doubt that what happened in Japen is not a natural disaster, I kind of believe it. But no matter what the root cause is,their people are suffering it. I still hope they can get better soon.

I know it doesn't look good now but Japan will bounce back and be better then ever! Right now they are struggling and they weren't fully prepared for a disaster this big! Especially with the nuclear plants having melt downs! I am sure there will be alot of countries helping Japan out. I know the US is. It might take alot of years but they will come back! They did after WWII and they will again!

It is an unfortunate human construct disaster and we are sorry for the victimins. Even the mightest of the nations can not withstand the might of the nature, let us learn something from this disaster and be friendly to the nature.

When a disaster hit a nation, people around the world extend helping hand to each other. This is a natural human reaction and we must be thankful, disaster make us humane again. Yes, disaster bring havoc to us but in the end, we survived this test of our being one humanity.

I would hope they could overcome the crisis - in Yahoo news I heard sad stories such as the survivors not having a place to even relieve themselves. Children try to help out by bringing them buckets to use as a toilet. Some have been wearing the same clothes they were wearing when the disaster happened. In other news, the head of Uniqlo, a very successful clothing brand in Japan donated over $12 million out of his own pocket in addition to tons of clothes from the company. This was part of over $25 million donated in total by Uniqlo. It's so wonderful that they have supported each other in the nation, yet it seems they still need so much more. In the US, I've seen so many people fund-raising for Japan. I have to admit, I was naive at first about how much money they really need in order to recover.
