I understand that they need them more than we do, and we actually have little to none use for those islands, so it's quite selfish of us to hold them. But really, this isn't the time to argue about that. They need all the help they can get as fast as possible. I hope they will understand that before it is too late. I hope it's not too late yet.
really that's not what i heard last night I heard on NHK that they officially asked the US for help in the matter... I could have misunderstood it with them asking for help with the nuclear situation but I do know that there was the USS Ronald Regan was there trying to help put sea water into the reactors to help cool them down. *shrugs* I was just going by what I heard from NHK
