Hey, the guy is 80 years old! In 2020, he'd be 88 years old!
Maybe he isn't sure he'd survive that long?
Resigning now and leaving the position open for a younger candidate isn't being reckless, is it?
To me, it's a responsible act.

Muammar Qaddafi is a soldier. I believe he will fight to the end, and die fighting if he has to. He means it when he says he will never surrender.

At this point in time, in the wake of the triple disasters that have hit Japan [earthquake-cum-tsunami-cum-Daiichi], the people of Tokyo need a strong, decisive and experienced leader. Ishihara is just that.
A weak, indecisive and inexperienced leader during a crisis is a disaster in himself/herself. If I were a Tokyoite, I'd vote for Ishihara, too. It's comfort in familiarity as well, which helps when times are unpredictable.

I've been saying all along that robots ought to have been used at Daiichi, and I'm really glad that robots will be used now.
But, I, too, was under the impression that Japan is the leader in robotics, so what's with the U.S. sending robots to help at Daiichi?
