I believe Japan may have deserved a catastrophic event such as the tsunami. If you don’t believe me, watch this movie called The Cove. Japan has been raping the ocean for years and it finally fought back.

Thanks for all the thoughts. I believe that objections to and questions about our position have been addressed in later posts on the matter. If you disagree, of course, you are welcome to say so and continue the conversation in the blog comments.

Hello friends,
I am concerned about people saying Japan is a wealthy country and doesn’t need financial assistance. They have tremendous debt right now, and are facing evacuations from nuclear contamination on top of the earthquake and tsunami devastation. It will take a long time to rebuild their country and economy. If money for MSF can purchase food and transportation to deliver it to Sendai, and other towns decimated by the quake and tsunami, then why wait? Those people, by all reports are still without service, food, clean water, warm clothing, or sleeping bags. They have no services to deal with the shock, cold and hunger. Its absolutely shocking. They feel abandoned by their own government. I encourage people to donate, if the funds can’t be used right now (which seems improbable), then they can certainly be used later. I trust that MSF, who is familiar with emergency aid around the world, will know how to disburse aid with the funds they receive for maximum benefit.

FYI – Wikipedia’s info on Japan’s aid to Katrina victims…

The Japanese Foreign Ministry said that it would provide $10,000 in cash to the American Red Cross to assist victims of Hurricane Katrina. Japan also identified needs in affected regions via the U.S. government and provided up to $10,000 in emergency supplies such as tents, blankets and power generators if they receive requests from the U.S. for such assistance. Private and corporate donations totaled over $13 million.[33] One Japanese individual, Takashi Endo, donated USD $1 million from his personal funds to Katrina relief efforts.

i would say that with this nuclear-reactor you should want the international experts over there immediatelly to reduce the damage as soon as possible. This is the biggestneed i guess. because in the long run that can turn Japan into a middle income country, or at least a country with alot of health needs.
