Jesus Christ! An 8.9 Earthquake struck near Japan, 10m Tsunami followed

[Splash!]

Thanks for the thinly veiled attempt to slam Obama by using the tragedy in Japan as your springboard.

I make no attempt to hide my distaste for Obama as well as others who just talk and never act.

Please google search for "Operation Tomodachi" and realize there at 50,000 US troops stationed in Japan at 3 or 4 bases and some of them are helping in relief efforts. US nuclear engineers are also assisting with the nuclear power plant crisis.

Yes there are lots of troops stationed at Japan and always have been. That doesn't mean they have contributed a great deal. Up until now, the Japanese have been pretty much left to their own devices. The US isn't supposed to be a just a friendly nation offering *some* help when it comes to Japan. Under treaty, they are supposed to be the most active participant in averting this crisis.

If its not the US, I hope the European nations do a bit more. Although it will take a bit longer for adequate support to get there all the way from Europe. Either ways, Japan really could use alot more help.
