    @mikihouse ...but the Japanese had asked them to surrender peacefully... Were we to admit your logic, we should say the US should not have stopped at the two a-bombs at Nagasaki and Hiroshima, but should have simply wiped out the entire island because of Japan's refusal to surrender in a war she started out of expansionist design... Perhaps then we wouldn't have to read such as you've written. DYING IN A WAR IS ONE THING, SADDISM IS ANOTHER! Truly, what a shame you bring to peace-loving people of this island and to many others who lost many family members and are suffering from the wounds of that shameful war, all because of some like you. Your refusal to acknowledge there could be a shameful past and find in that a reason to ask for forgiveness and be forgiven is, unfortunately, a cancer eating away at your own peace, the peace that you can experience even today. I pray you one day take that path.

    Here's how the spread can be fast... "Rubella is often spread through coughing or sneezing. It can also be transmitted when people put their fingers in their mouth or nose after touching an infected surface. Symptoms of rubella usually appear 14 to 21 days after rubella transmission. Also known as German measles or three-day measles, rubella is a contagious illness spread by coughing and sneezing. A person with rubella can transmit the virus anytime from about seven days prior to the onset of the rash to seven days after the onset. Even if rubella symptoms never develop, a person can spread rubella if he or she becomes infected with rubella virus. How Does Rubella Transmission Occur? The rubella virus resides in the mucus in the nose and throat of the infected person. When that person sneezes or coughs, droplets spray into the air. The infected mucus can land in other people's noses or throats when they breathe or put their fingers in their mouth or nose after touching an infected surface."

    I do hold TEPCO guilty of failure to reveal and obstructing access to vital information that could help in a proper assessment of the magnitude of the risks resulting from the nuclear plant accident, but I think these servicemen should be suing the Pentagon, not TEPCO. As the department deploying an expeditionary volunteer team to the area, it had the responsibility and resources to make an independent assessment and provide the necessary protective gear to all the servicemen.

    @smithinjapan, your comments on questions raised in article are more than pertinent...in many ways, Japan actually sees self as a victim during the Second World War

    Good message for the millions around the world who donated to help human victims of the disaster...that while the world mourns and stands by those who have lost dear ones and belongings, Japan sinks the money in a fake "miracle tree" shrine...

    In a world in which men or women are defined not by their sexual organs but by their "sexual orientation", my question is where do the she-men or he-women fit in this?

    Violating anti-prostitution laws in Tokyo? Never knew such laws really exist in Japan? Well, some being skeptics of the online "dating" business, wnat it the old way...and with what is likely the world's highest percentage of sex-starved, especially males, possibly in the 80 % range, married and singles and all ages put together, why not let them take their cut of what most Japanese spend during their many trips to neighboring countries? Let's continue with the pretence...

    "The graviest crisis" to hit Japanese sport? As if the hazling to death of 17-year-old wrestler Tokitaizan wasn't one! Call it the most face-loosing exposure of the Japanese standard training methods since it has drawn international attention as an Olympic event. Tip of the iceberg I think it is, because such methods, including verbal assaults that are nothing short of worst kind of bulling, are common practices at even club levels, with parents, driven by the craze to see their offspring take a medal podium, cautioning the so called "child toughening" training methods.

    @GrahamDeShazo I agree 100%. Talking tough when at end of the day all one can do is depend on others to act is backing louder than the master, a good act for a galley of ignorant people. No doubt, Mr Abe's asking for time is to negotiate the ransom money, forgetting that money paid by the French, Germans and others at one time or the other is what has built up the war chess of the terrorists... take a look at the vehicles they are using, they aren't American jeeps, and they were not purchased with rocks. Giving the terrorists more time only allows them time to split up the hostages and secure them at different points with explosives devices (we shouldn't forget these are people who aren't afraid to die). To say lives first is like the 100 out of 132 liberated don't matter.

    Well, this is just sad, sad, sad; a waste! But the road to change is not for tomorrow. The craze for stardom in japanese sports seems to be what justifies such practices, sometimes with the knowledge of parents under the pretence that the practionners are doing something they like. On the other hand, it derives from traditions like having kids walk on hot coal with the believe that it makes them grow stronger and healthy...yet no one cries foal in these cases; traditions they call it! Well, the tradition is here to stay, because there are never bad traditions!
