I've always felt that Japan was not punished severely enough for the atrocities
they committed in WWII.
Not to mention the economic warfare they waged on the USA in the 70s & 80s.
I have no sympathy for the people of Japan, thinking they are just getting their

Well, I'm a good conservative GOP youth, on paper I believe in
everything good and beautiful about my own country, but I don't wish
karmic retribution on any other nation because the U.S.A. is
relatively overdue.
When America is good, we are very very good. And when we are bad, we
are very very bad and have great practice at denial techniques.
So I tread lightly on/around tempting karmic retribution.

Nobody is arguing that Pearl Harbor wasn't the catalyst for the
bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It is my opinion, to which I am
entitled, that the total destruction of 2 of Japan's largest cities
was just retribution.

Your linked article is essentially the worst case (not much release of
radioactive stuff), IF the containment vessels hold.
IF NOT, then you get more towards the Chernobyl end of the spectrum.
There also seems to be a question of "spent fuel" which is kept in
pools of water in these buildings after removal from the reactors.
Did that stuff get ejected in the explosions???
All in all, the earthquake was a lot more powerful than anything
envisioned, and both the Japanese and Americans who designed these
things might be guilty of more than a little hubris.
In Russia, they could abandon a large amount of land around
Chernobyl. This is a luxury that the Japanese may not have.

Yes, the USA should be very careful in our aid in this instance.
Japan is still a wealthy country. They were our allies in the First
Gulf War.
However, in the short run (say the next thirty days), we should give

I gotta say that those Japanese monster movies with the crude model sets and
silly costumed actors still make me gag. As close contemporaries of
Harryhausen's fantastic creature creations, I would be embarrassed to be
involved with such an amateurish production. But then I guess it made the
locals happy.
I get sick, too, of that crude Japanese-style cartoon technique that seems
to dominate today, having grown up with detailed Disney classics. Not that
I watch cartoons anymore (ahem).

Funny, after all that's happened, we became buddies with the Japanese within
about five years after WW II. With the Germans, too. Yet over fifty years
have passed and we still have serious angst over Cuba, and they never did
anything to us. Heavy fine for smoking a Cuban cigar? Give me a break!

Not sure how long it was. I wasn't there, not even close. My father isn't

One point he makes it that the electrical power to the cooling pumps
was lost, despite a triply redundant back-up power system. To my mind
that indicates inadequate testing or poor operational procedures. I
have actually see a case of such a system (developed for an inflatable
radome) being found to contain a single point failure mode. Besides
being a design error, such a thing must indicate a lack of an
adversarial approach to testing. For such a thing as a nuclear power
plant, testing a power supply to destruction could reasonably have
been required.
Even so, his remark about how train service compares with nuclear
power plant safety is amusing if not precisely the best point.

Chernobyl was, by contrast, probably worse than was reported.

I don't think the NHK World Television (Japanese Public Television
English Service, it seems) is broadcasting "live" anymore. They seem
to have put on a tape "loop" of the same hour or two of programming,
over and over.
Maybe they have run away!!!

US Naval forces are leaving the area as fast as possible to avoid contamination.
Troops as far away as Tokyo have been "advised" to stay indoors.
Despite the Japanese gubmint's assurances that this won't be another Chernobyl
(and maybe because of their denials), I'm pretty sure this will go down as the
worst nuclear plant disaster yet.
So much for those who claim nuclear power to be "pollution free". (Not to
mention the half-life of the spent fuel rods is about a gajillion years!)

I don't know about how to compare this to Chernobyl - but obviously
Japan doesn't have the vast landmass of the old Soviet Union.
Also, northern Japan is a lot closer to the USA than happy old central
Eurasia.
It's going to take three or four weeks to have some realistic idea of
where Fukushoma goes, melt-down and depleted fuel wise.
It could be a total cluster-fuck. Or Not.

So far, I'd still bet that the only casualty will be the owner of the
plant, when he realizes how much money he loses.

No, there will be dead Japanese out of this thing (I've heard that two
of the plant workers are already dead and fifteen in critical
condition - but yes, the people I read are radicals on both sides of
the spectrum who don't buy into the MSM); and likely a large long-term
exclusion zone in a country with not much arable land to spare.
We aren't going to know the truth for sometime (weeks) to come; and
you can sure as shit be certain that the U.S. main stream media won't
be reporting the truth. Maybe the BBC will be a little better.
One also needs to consider the psychological effects of the roller-
coaster nuclear news on the Japanese and world economies.
Not out of the woods here, not by any means.

P.S. The news is showing photos of the Japanese firetruck drivers
carefully putting on their seat belts before driving around the
Fukushima Nuclear Facility. In-freakin'-credible.

Beanie is a waste of human skin, as should be completely obvious by now.
Thank you for filing a complaint, but also, please stop quoting his drivel.
I've killfiled the moron, and I suggest you do the same. However, if you
reply and quote him, you're not only feeding the troll, but you're
perpetuating his stupidity. Is anything he posts worth repeating?

But Finnan LIKES getting kicked off. It gives him something to do. He's
gone through about a dozen ISPs over the years. Actually, his Hardy Boys
information has been on the same server for a while. Perhaps he's
playing nice there.
