| I've been in shock over the destruction in Japan and I wanted to hear something from the PM and the Emperor,below are their quotes.
Prime Minister Naoto Kan told a national television address Friday that, "We will rebuild Japan from scratch. We must all share this resolve." H.I.M. Emperor Akihito of Japan made a rare appearance on Japanese national television to share his thoughts and concerns about the aftermath of last week’s 9.0 earthquake and destructive tsunami that followed. According to the BBC News: TV stations interrupted programming on Wednesday to show the emperor describing the crisis facing the nation as “unprecedented in scale”. The 77-year-old �" deeply respected by many Japanese �" said: “I hope from the bottom of my heart that the people will, hand in hand, treat each other with compassion and overcome these difficult times.” |

| If a country can rebuild itself, it is Japan. They have done it before and will again because their people seem to think more of each other than "me" and work together. |

| Thank you, West, for your quotes and for thinking of the poor inhabitants of Japan. It is so surreal; beyond the scope of measured calamities heaped upon a country. |

| Forces beyond our comprehension happen and we lose our anchor to the reality we know. It will take a while for the world to adjust and recover. Thanks for the week of quotes. |
