It was quite weird watching a Greenpeace representative talk about the situation in Japan on the BBC News earlier today. You could tell he was somewhat caught between sympathy for the people caught up in it and the moral considerations that entails and the bubbling under urge to say "I told you so!". Think there's gonna be a lot of that in days to come.
Early days I guess, but as a very early scrabble for a bit of silver lining in the apocalyptic awfulness of what's happening you'd hope at least that whatever happens in Japan (and one hopesfor minimal fall-out in every sense!) it's going to make other Nuclear nations give their schemes a good, hard, second coat of looking at and thinking about from now on.
