This wasn't issolated in Japan. That radiation is blowing across USA. Fortunately, it's only a minute amount now. But if it does get worse, the agricultural machine that feeds the world could be affected.<br /><br />The consequence of a complete melt down are too significant for the USA to just <b>assume</b> that Japan can handle it themselves.<br />--John GaltDavid Kinnisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14158766423050959393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4649343161125212318.post-57045516204880028322011-03-18T06:59:39.322-07:002011-03-18T06:59:39.322-07:00Actually I don't pin this on Obama.
