Possible small pox attack against the US.

"It will scare the hell out of you and, hopefully, your readers. And the terrifying fact is that it is a certainty and that nothing can be done about it. There is a projected dieoff in this country alone of nearly 70,000,000 people when this gets going! There are absolutely no defenses against it, the government having deliberately destroyed huge stocks of effective vaccine. We know with absolute certainty that terrorists have the smallpox virus, obtained from crooked Russian officials., and although we do not know at present which group is planning to use it as a bioterrorist weapon, we do know for certain that it will be used against us and probably within the next six months. (The winter months are considered the peak months for a widespread dissemination of the virus.)”

No sure who the "terrorists" are. There were also a lot of laws drawn up about the government right to take property if you refuse the take the small pox vaccine. Maybe it's time to leave.

1. One thing that's always bothered me

Where the hell are terrorists supposed to lay hands on small pox virus?

3. Either in the US or Russia, they're the only two counties known to have

any strains of the virus.

Russia's security may not be the best, but if Bush knew about the August reports of Bin Laden's desire to attack (how could he not), then I'm skeptical of the security of the US's own stored strains.

4. Maybe.

But that's speculation, isn't it? In the meantime, access to resistant strains of tuberculosis seems very cheap and easy by comparison. They could even deliberately infect scores of "martyrs" and send them over here before symptoms begin to show up. Once here, they need only interact normally to release a potentially devastating attack on the US.

I worry far, far more about TB than I do smallpox. In fact, I don't worry about smallpox at all.

2. I'm so scared that I'm peeing my pants.

Hey Americans, we all die. We're human. No better than those everywhere else on this planet. Instead of thinking we're better, why not try thinking we're equal and work together with REAL methods of peacemaking instead of hyping up peace while promoting deepening hatred and war.
