wow, the japan has set an example to the world after having the huge loss in the economy,life, and. The day wen i saw in the news JAPAN WAS ATTACKED BY TSUNAMI i had a view that the japan time has elapsed in this world but after a year wen i saw the same news channels i was wrong, the japan people worked out the problem with courage and with commitment, i hope we INDIANS also have the same determination after looking at them this is because on 26th december 2004 we had the same disaster, over 2lakh people dead in the disaster but still we dont have our own food,shelter and cloth. but japan has showed the world that with a strong administration we can acheive unbelievable things. WE LOVE U JAPAN.

 Yeah, the Japanese are a remarkable people. They just  endured immense suffering and were able to walk though with their heads held high and humility in their hearts. There are few countries on this planet that could survive a disaster of this magnitude with their social fabric and country still intact. I sincerely&nbs p;wish the best to the Japanese people. As they continue to recover and repair their country ,their resolve and spirit should be an inspiration to us all.

As a last ditch effort the Jew haters went to Japan and told them America was attacking them.  And they went to attack America.  Yet they knew that attacking America straight on wasn't an option so they attacked Pearl Harbor.  America was caught in a vital moment and didn't know what to do so they bombed them.  Ask the Japanese that's why they don't like Russians that much.  It actually took Americans telling them to try to get along with Russia.

What is really sad is the WORLDWIDE COVER UP of this disaster!!!! The whole planet is being slowly IRRADIATED with all kinds of RADIATION and the governments LIE!!! This  is nothing less than CRIMINAL behavior by our Governments in collusion with JAPANANESE RULERS!!!! There never was COLD SHUTDOWN!!! They just keep moving the radiation from dump to dump! Then it rains or snows or there is pollen and its all back again!

Very rarely you see countries like Japan and the people of Japan.Nationalist,Or ganized etc.Thats why in WWII the US droped nukes on them ,they knew otherwise it would be very Hard to win against such brave people.Its one when you fights for the money and its the other when you fight for a noble cause.That why they will never win in Afganistan.No one EVER.

A year ago it was very distressing to see all the suffering and the destructions that the survivors of this tragedy had to go through. One year on and everything has been rebuilt, probably even much better than before. All my respect and admiration to all the Japanese who have worked hard to overcome this disaster and rebuild everything from scratch.

I live in Italy, where in 2009 there was a massive earthquake in L'Aquila. The difference is, in Italy L'Aquila is still a disaster zone 3 years later, and most of the displaced families are still living in government-provided shacks. Long live Japan!

Japan and the Germany are the two countries always and truly impressed the world with their highly disciplined and organised societies. I do wish the Japanese people quick recovery. With love to Japan!
