Great. Our friends need help, there is a major nuclear catastrophe unfolding, but starting wars is a higher priority.

While I don't doubt that the government was more interested in starting new wars than helping Japan, I still don't get why people keep saying the US has done nothing to help?
We sent aid, our Military was helping out over there. We can't just force Japan to let us do whatever we want, Japan has to request specific help from the US. All of what was requested from Japan has been done by the US.
What more do you want?

Those are unemployment rates. That's disgusting. We need to fix the problems in our own back yard before we go pi$$ing in someone else's.

I slightly agree that we should try to do more, but then I look at something like Hurricane Katrina, and I didn't see Japan coming to their aid sooo....but then again, the US gov't barely did either. The thing is, no matter how good a system in place, it relies on the people, and no one seems to handle catastrophes or big issues correctly. IMHO.

The US could use their alien derived tech to transport the reactors, spent fuel and surrounding buildings to the sun for disposal. Oh, that is right, they might scare the rest of the world if they reveal that tech.

On your dime. Our government will spend trillions of the tax payers money without a second thought.
then websites will pop up everywhere to ask for more support and MONEY .
Japan has money, LOTS of money. they only need spend it instead of waiting for a free hand out.

Why does it always have to be the U.S.? Where is the rest of the world, not that I don't want to help. Where is Canada, where is Europe, where is anyone in South America, where is the rest of Asia? For a NWO, they sure are turning their backs and letting us always slide in to take blame for doing too much.
