Kan is doing as good job in very difficult circumstances. It will take years to sort this mess out. A mess made a lot worse by decades of weak planning controls from an LDP in the pockets of corporate Japan.

I hope he got a substantial and well publicised prison sentence. He was not only putting out poison for cats and dogs, but for young children playing outdoors too.

I guess that was one happy kitty you had there. Congrats on your generosity and 'the good deed'.

Well actually friend, that is what I did do, three times in ten years.
As you are so full of good advice for others, how about you mister?

Actually feeding a starving cat IS undoubtedly an act of kindness to the individual animal, whatever your views are of the social consequences. As others comment, cats do actually serve a useful function in terms of discouraging rodents (and, in the country, snakes!)
I feed starving cats when one turns up. Hope the guy has a long, healthy and well nourished life ahead of him to give him an opportunity to learn some compassion for others.

But, he added, “this is the war we’re in.”
That's the crux of it. If it is a really a war and the Americans believe that it is essential to fight then they have to commit everything they have got and be prepared for the tens of thousands of casualties. Don't expect the Europeans or Japanese to help you, for us the political will is not there.
Otherwise, just go home. Or it will just go on like this for decades.

Yes the UK has a pretty good system whatever oddball Thatcherite MEP's might say on Fox News. I'd rather be treated there than in either the USA or Japan.

Unbelievable this stuff can happen. Get out there and make your own life, don't look for a free ride on your father's coat tails.

Um .. maybe I'm missing something but isn't this whole event next year just one form of saying 'sorry, please can we move on from all that'.
Also more than one American friend of mine staying with my in-laws in Hiroshima (my father-in-law is hibakusha) has felt the impulse to say "I feel really sorry about what happened here".
If you don't regret what happened here's an idea. Get the 'shink' down to Hiroshima, head over to the Peace Park yourself and explain to some visiting classes of elementary school kids why you think it was all a good idea and so necessary. You'll be helping them out with their class project and communicating your point of view.

Not really. The train would have been delayed longer while the police completed their 'scene of fatality' reports.
Teenager pranks - happens all the time all around the world (but not often in Japan!). But a guy in his 50's - really unusual.
