Still, I don't believe they staged their lack of response. 9.0 earthquake followed by massive Tsunami, followed by crisis at the nuclear power plants. I don't think they delayed anything (except maybe information--either because they didn't have it, or they wanted to save face or avoid panic) intentionally. I think they were just woefully unprepared for something of this magnitude.
I doubt the U.S. ability to handle a crisis of that magnitude. Hell, look what we did with Katrina.
Do you really believe that in all of japan there is not one big diesel generator and some water pumps?
Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.
