Why would a country that has been as devastated as Japan want a significant number of its citizens to be so sick? They will need everybody possible to help recover from this tragedy.I heard it mentioned several times, starting on Friday, that they were distributing Iodine pills. And it's to prevent them from getting thyroid cancer - not any other kind of cancer.Remember, too that this is the Japanese government. I think you are imparting to it qualities of the government of the USA - unless you know what their government is like, that's unfair.Pamela
