Prime Minister Naoto Kan survived a no-confidence motion by promising to quit once he makes tangible progress in containing the nuclear crisis and rebuilding quake-stricken areas. What sort of criteria should be used to evaluate that?

Easy.
All the evacuees are in real houses. All the businesses have been re-established. All the missing have been accounted for.
With these criteria, perhaps the LDP, Komeito, and Ozawa's new political party will work hard to make Fukushima and Japan an economic power again rather than snipe at Kan.
Shocking idea, I know, but it would be in the LDPs best interest to accomplish it so they can get Kan out of office.

He was very clever to promise that. It will take years to rebuild everything. The criteria should be that everything should look like before and everybody should live again in the same place than before...we are talking here maybe in hundreds of years. Good luck to Mr Kan and I hope for no more unnecessary motions but progress.

I don't know. But whatever the criteria is, LDP and Hatoyama will raise the bar.

well besides the help the survivors rebuild, which is already being undertaken, even though some of those stupid ones like Tanigaki complain about a couple of thousand, when in 2 months already, 10s of thousands of temp housing have been done, and all that....my guess would be to make sure Japan heads down the track of other energy supplies. So until Tepco is closed, thatd either draw things out or hurry them up. Which do the other politicians want? And Germany has been encouraging about this too, so Japan is not alone. I mean if anybody can make this move it's Japan-especially with their poor us we suffered the dropping of the bomb attitude, as if nobody else in the world has been at the peril of nuclear contamination. The situation is so perfect, itd clean that attitude up nicely, and certainly put to use the technology capacity that Japan has-compared to that now pictured stupid looking kids walker robot. And economics would boost after a recovery period double fold, and well itd keep Komeito out of politics-yey-, and after lasts nights tremor sitting right at Fukushima with a 5-er, Id say, who wants Tepco closed quickly?
