Before we get started, please understand that my heart goes out to the Japanese people. For if the damage from the 9.0 earthquake and subsequent tsunami was not enough, the possibility of a catastrophic nuclear meltdown at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant takes the full gravity of the dire circumstances that they are now facing way over the top.
Nonetheless, it is becoming quite clear that this time they got nuked by their own government. For not nearly enough safety precautions were taken on a number of different levels.
