Lawyer and blogger raymiyatake expresses his doubts [ja] over the election of Japanese diplomat Yukiya Amano as director-general of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). First, he says, Amano was supported by only 23 nations out of 35. Second, he points out the difficult situation that the Agency is dealing with, at present, and the “unfairness” of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), which should be applied also to the five members already recognized as possessing nuclear power. Lastly, he suggests that instead of promoting a “pacific use” of nuclear energy, this should be replaced with clean energy sources (such as the geothermal or the aeolian ones).

Thanks to Japanese rescue team.
When I saw the news that Japanese rescue team helped to find dead persons day and night in Si Chuan, I was moved by their professional and humanism. They did great work in China. Though living in Beijing, I should also show my honor to every team member.
If you could, please help to forward my thanks to other Japanese people, we will never forget the people who helped us.
