Christine Lagarde looks good and quite serious. She is a good choice for this important job.

They should have visited Okawa Elementary School in Ishinomaki and heard about what happened there.

That borders on a crime IMHO... google it if you don't know the story.

If I were a parent of a child who died at Okawa Elementary School I would absolutely sue the Local Education Authority, local government and national government for the loss of my child... they bear responsibility.

spudman Body language doesn't look good. She is being resistant to whatever is being said.

She probably just got off a 14 hour flight, plus another 3 hour ride from Narita, not too mention she's probably 6 time zones from her own, I wouldn't blame her if she was passed out cold.
