A scene that beggars description...
When you see a country that has suffered an earthquake, that is a horrible
sight. When you see a country that has suffered a tsunami, that is a horrible
sight. And when you see a country that suffers fire after fire, that, too, is a
horrible sight.
In twenty-four hours, Japan has suffered
ALL of these!!!
