Radiation in Japan

Radiation in Japan hasn't gone away. News media outlets just report about it less on CNN and all the other cable networks. People are still dying there from the trauma of losing their towns, relatives, friends, jobs, businesses, and of course from radiation on top of everything else.

I personally think the Earthquakes, Tsunami, and Fukushimas partial meltdowns to be hundreds and thousands of times more horrific for Japan and the world than Chernobyl ever was. There is no comparison to the horror and damage that has been done to the Japanese psyche by this. It may scar the Japanese in the long run much more than World War II or Hiroshima or Nagasaki because there is no one to blame outside of Japan for any of this. It was an act of God and how Japan dealt with all these issues will traumatize individuals and the whole culture for a long long time. The world sees how brave and resolute the Japanese are. The Japanese are respected for this. But there is a time for bravery and there is a time for taking care of everyone. And in a real crisis like this it might be hard to separate those two things. So being brave is useful only until you are broken by your bravery and then someone else has to take a turn being brave. So then someone has to take care of the brave ones who have been broken now by this and the new brave ones must take their place in the forefront and pilot the ship into the future.
