OP, you might also want to mention that Koizumi was first elected on a platform of what more or less amounted to "destroying the LDP".

The mood on US bases is pretty bad in Okinawa, the moving of the Marines base has been a contentious issue for the last few years and unless I missed something, still hasn't been resolved.

Well, except those US sailors that got a facefull of radioactive plume and are getting hit by cancer by the handfull.

Just because people didn't have their skin melted off in a cartoonish fashion doesn't mean there won't be direct fatalities from the radiation.

And that's far out at sea. I'm sure there are a ton of domestic cases but TEPCO loves covering poo poo up and the goverment loves helping them - oh look a convenient new secrecy bill too.
