@Wiseowl: did you see the news footage of them passing out emergency water and supplies? The people were calm in a line and everyone bowed as saying thanks when receiving their little 6x6x10 inch box. You wouldn't see that in America, people would be like, GIVE ME THE D#$N BOX!Comment

The toll from this disaster will be played out over weeks and I think the enormity of it isn't even surfacing yet. I hope I'm wrong on that thought. The civility of the people of Japan in the face of such a devastating loss is awe inspiring, almost restoring some faith in mankind. God bless the people of Japan.What a long, strange trip it's been.....Comment

I just heard this AM on Fox Business that the Japanese economy, already in serious trouble, is not going to be able to rebuild without significant difficulty. The Japanese have always been savers, including significant investments in U.S. Treasuries. They are already selling off these U.S. Treasuries and it will get worse as the cost of the disaster rises.
As Japan is forced to sell U.S. Treasuries - what happens to our own economy.Comment
