it is not surprising that the U.S. [and the rest of the world] is concerned with the fukushima nuclear plant incidents. they did drop two atom bombs on hiroshima and nagasaki to end WWII.
with wry humor, now it is japan that is poised, on the brink, of expelling the same type toxicity on itself, and onto rest of the world.
who wouldn't worry?
the clamor to wrest the truth from the japanese government on fukushima is coming from all global sectors.
honestly, which government has ever been transparent about their nukes? honesty has never been a word equated with nukes, nor with government.
the only purpose of learning the truth is to be better prepared. prevention is better than cure. okay, so we're prepared. and then what?
in case of a meltdown, fate lies in the wind. literally and figuratively.
the japanese are a cool, calm and collected bunch. their faces give nothing away. images of relatives looking for missing loved ones from a list, seem like people merely checking if they passed the bar exams.
of course they're nervous. angry, even.
but given the japanese people's admirable respect for, and pride in, their country and countrymen - kamikaze and harakiri are two words that come to mind - one presupposes that their government is doing everything possible to contain the potential catastrophe that is fukushima.
that is the only truth.
fallout. meltdown. why not faith in. hopes high?
wherefore art thou, takeshi?
