I was about to post the same thing about the US news websites.
The news people like wars for some reason, I suspect for the same reason (whatever it is) that they like ballgames.
I think that Japan is the far greater story, not only for the suffering involved, but because it's possible that this will put an end to nuclear power (which would have far reaching effects regarding the generation of power throughout the world throughout the century), and in the shorter term because it could devastate Japan's manufacturing (not only the short term disruption, but perhaps because of a worldwide fear that products made in Japan will be radioactive).
