Worst case scenario's

These words are increasingly being bandied about, a little to recklessly perhaps. I think we should remember that for many thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of people in northern Japan, the 'worst case scenario' has already come to pass. So many of them have lost everything - the news here is showing heart-rendering reports of orphaned children, a sole surviving grandfather looking for both his children and grandchildren who all lived with him, and the countless, nameless others who are searching for loved ones.
To be honest, events down in Fukushima, while undoubtedly serious, are proving to be a bit of a distraction. Down there it is still a case of "what if ?" For so, so many though, it is an unbelievably harsh case of "what now ?" Attention should be focused on them and what the world can do to help, rather than endlessly recycling speculative (and untrue) stories about the "eerily quite streets of Tokyo" and how "people are fleeing the city in their thousands".
Well maybe the French are, but good riddance to them. Hand-ball cheating, effeminate, blubbering cowards to the last homme.
