As more and more news rolls in about our friends in Japan, one has to be very grateful that the Japanese were well prepared. Yes, this is still a great tragedy, but imagine if Japan were a mere third world country with a poor infrastructure and absolutely no preparation on their part-- the already very high death toll would increase ten-fold, if not a hundred times. Even now, Japan is still in danger; workers are scrambling to cool down the nuclear plants and there could still be an aftershock coming.
It's at times like these you can count on the selflessness of your fellow man, right?
