They are undeniably a small number of lunatics and I don't hold groups accountable for those, anymore then I did when Danny Glover blamed the Earthquake in Haiti on it, but under the 'Never Let a Good Crisis Go To Waste' theory a lot of people have already started pressing anti-nuclear agendas, those people are certainly fair game, as are others who will use this tragedy to feed their own political goals.
Its a short official statement, nothing in it is 'in passing'
Tangent, not interested in Huckabee, bring it up elsewhere, it's unrelated and I've asked you to try to avoid tangents with me, you know it leaves me either having to defend whatever it is and going into a Joel-Isaac fifty page dialogue or I have ignore it and let you score some point.
Despite Limbaughs claiming otherwise for the sake of questions he ludicrously calls "legitimate". The EESC President merely called for global solidarity, and noted in passing that climate change is another case where this is advisable,

since the tsunamis impact on some islands has been exacerbated (but not CAUSED) by global warming. While American conservatism and internationalism have never gotten on well, the formers case against the latter should be made without raising questions illegitimately based on invented facts. Speaking of invented facts, I was rather disappointed to see Huckabee quoted in the marquee at the link saying, in regard to the President, that most of us grew up going to boy scout meetings rather than madrasas. I'd have thought that beneath him (Huckabee, I mean) and regret that it seemingly isn't.
