Democracy (la démocratie)
New Japanese Prime Minister Mr. Yoshihiko Noda learnt in a notable school to educate youths and citizens who wish to become a politician.
The school was founded by legendary founder of Panasonic, a Japanese electronics giant, in 1979. Among graduates from this school 53 are now active as parliamentary members. Four-year education and training in the school might have contributed to success of lawmaker Mr. Yoshihiko Noda. However, there are many Japanese who do not trust this kind of the so-called "elite political education."
New PM Mr. Noda leads a faction only consisting of 20 or 30 lawmakers in the ruling DPJ where 400 parliament members belong. So, he cannot decisively and maybe fatally stand against one of big bosses in the party Mr. Ichiro Ozawa who is said to control 100 or so lawmakers in the DPJ. As former PM Mr. Kan fought against Mr. Ozawa, it looks, he could not achieve any administrative success, resulting in virtually forced resignation. So, the situation is still floating in the Japanese domain of politics.
SECTION I: Democracy
First of all, true democracy means, say, to have 6 prime ministers in 5 years. Only Japan can do it. So, you had better respect Japan in this context.
If you can recall the U.S. President every year through a vote in the Congress, Mr. George W. Bush should have been denied his presidency by 2006. Then, Osama bin Laden should have been taken on by 2008 and the Financial Crisis in 2008 could have been avoided.
To have 4-year long presidency is completely irrational in the 21st century democracy. The U.S. should have 6 presidents in 5 years as the situation is so grave in these years.
SECTION II: Fukushima Prefecture Land Contamination
Japan's Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology issued a report on radioactive contamination of land of Fukushima Prefecture where a big nuclear power plant accident occurred in the wake of the great earthquake/tsunami of March 11, 2011.

The above map shows the state of Cesium 137 ground pollution in the area within 100 km of Fukushima Daiichi.
Paddy rice fields around the Daiichi nuclear power station are strongly contaminated, Many farm families are not only forced to abandon rice growing this year but also to leave their house and villages due to strong dosages in the environment. Total 80,000 citizens around the Daiichi plant have been evacuated to live in towns and cities far from the nuclear site.
In addition, the Fukushima Prefecture government issues a guidebook on how to remove radioactive material from the environment in which citizens live:
Method to Reduce Radiation Level in Open Space Areas
The necessary procedure to remove materials in open space areas that are contaminated by radioactive substances is written here.

Appendix. Imperial Navy's Attack on US West Coast in WWII
On September 9, 1942, a Japanese Yokosuka E14Y floatplane launched from a Japanese submarine and dropped two incendiary bombs with the intention of starting a forest fire. Thanks to a group of fire lookouts and favorable weather conditions the damage done by the attack was minor. The attack was the first time the continental United States was bombed by an enemy aircraft.

Mat 8:30 And there was a good way off from them an herd of many swine feeding.
Mat 8:31 So the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine.
Mat 8:32 And he said unto them, Go. And when they were come out, they went into the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters.
