Japan Tsunami
It hurts. My thoughts go out to a country in which such massive suffering is shadowed by a potentially greater atomic one.
And then to the revolt in Libya, who I can’t help feel we’ve abandoned.

That wall the flood is pouring over – I learned yesterday that it is an anti-tsunami wall, construction of which finished last year.
Guess they didn’t expect a once-in-a-century or -millennium event to happen just now.
