The right thing to do, right now, for the world, would be to put down arms and every country come to the aide of Japan. Start living like neighbors.

I was thinking about the same topic, and whether the extremists that are causing most of the problems in the world would consider something like that. It doesn't seem likely. Live and let live is not their motto.

It would be too easy just to drive down the cynical highway on this one, so I'll leave it on my mantra.

Putting aside our differences and joining together to help a brother in need, wouldn't that be something.

The good news is that there will tons of aide going to Japan from all over the world. There are a lot of organizations that are set up to do this type of work.

No kidding! Millions of people travel by air daily all with the intention of landing safely. Because of 19 wackjobs airport security is now a nightmare. Our Troops are tied up chasing that same small% in middle eastern nations of otherwise good people. It's such a shame more of our troops can't use their training and resources to help Japan.

I think the biggest heros right now are the 50 employees working on the nuclear plant that keeps exploding.
