Great Eastern Earthquake

What is likely to be the impact on Japan of the devastating March 11, 2011 earthquake and horrendous tsunami?  Is it likely to be a rallying cry for Japan, which will enable its energies to be channelled into resolving the issues that the economy faces? What is not at issue, is that the areas requiring mitigation are all well identified and debated within Japan. What is missing, on the other hand, is resolution of a way forward and implementation of the chosen measures.
