"A U.S. nuclear-powered submarine may have leaked a small amount of radiation as it stopped by Japan in the spring and was then deployed throughout the Pacific Ocean, the Japanese government said Saturday". - International Herald Tribune
Don't we know what happens when the navy releases radioactive material into the seas off the coast of Japan? Ninjas? No. Three Eyed Fish? NO! Godzilla is what happens! I mean, sure it won't affect USA until he's ransacked Tokyo and he's dispatched Megalon and Ghidarah first, but we can't take that risk. Our government must take responsibility for this tragic and ultimately dangerous mishap.
I feel that as Americans we have a responsibility to clean up our messes around the world, and if we can prevent them, do so. It would be a very different story if when a nuclear vessel released a little radioactive material along with their 'waste fluids', doves and monarch butterflies emerged from the ocean surface with olive branches and snow cones, but they don't. Giant mean lizard beasts breach the surface with the urge to make sushi out of Osaka. America! Write your congress people now! Inform them of the dangers of marching the US Military Industrial Complex all over the globe, and how real the risk is of releasing a grumpy army of B-movie monsters upon the globe. Heaven help us all.
