Obviously our sympathies go out to the Japanese and David Cameron has righlty pledged them any aid that they might require. But they won't need much, apart from those killed in the initial natural disaster Japan is far more ready to cope with the consequences than most places precisely because it was the first Asian country to embrace western ways and means. It irritates me when hand wringers complain that third world shit-holes suffer more than developed countries when faced with NATURAL disasters and that somehow it is all our fault.
