China and Japan have a great deal of grievances between one another; history books, Yasukuni Shrine, the East Sea, the Dalai Lama, human rights and many other things. But the recent earthquake in China has enabled both of the countries to put aside their differences, at least for the time being.
Japan has sent another group of relief aid workers to China, the third group since 1989 to step on Chinese soil to assist with a disaster.
Japan dispatched a small number of rescuers to China in 1989 when floods occurred and in 2003 when the SARS virus broke out.
The most recent group sent to China, however, represents the largest one sent yet.
Hopefully, the people receiving the aid will be able to put aside their differences as well as the government has. It would be hard to believe that anyone in need of assistance would bite the hand that feeds it, or in this case, the hand that helps pull one out from underneath rubble.

I think Hillary Clinton’s time has finally come. Let the truth be known that she is truly truth-challenged!
Her speeches about her trip to Bosnia, her political choices, what she has voted for and started, and her family matters are all, according to her, misspoken instances in her life. She plays down every thing she is corrected on as mishaps in her choice of words. Anyone else would be considered a liar.
They should do a movie about the Clintons and call it “Slick Willie Meets Slick Hillie”. It would be a blockbuster especially if they were left in charge of promoting and financing it.
The truth of the matter is that Hillary Clinton doesn’t just bend the truth but completely changes it. She makes up her form of the truth - lies - and passes it out as the truth, the way she wants people to view her as a woman, mother, wife and politician.
It’s a good thing there are people out there with enough clout to get the truth about her out over the Internet, TV and radio. Otherwise, many would still have the Clintonian wool pulled over their eyes.
I wonder what other things she has said over her political career that were misspoken…
Someone check her tongue and see if it ain’t forked!
