No one will ever convince me that we don't have the ragheads to thank for this disease.

Saddam bragged about working with it several years ago. (WE sent it to him to play with)

Does anyone else remember seeing any of the arab "art" that was posted after 9/11? It had barren land around our landmarks, and there was always an arab stallion running through the picture. There were mosquitoes too.

Another reason to nuke the bastards and let God sort them out.

Well, if you want to put on the tinfoil, I have read that Castro developed it for Saddam.

Here is an article I found with my current quick search, but I read others -- also about the peculiar way it showed up in the US.

"The October 18-25, 1999 issue of The New Yorker carries a well researched story by Richard Preston that created quite a furor at that time: the possibility that the mysterious encephalitis outbreak in New York City was really a deliberate bioterrorist attack generated by Iraq’s Saddam Hussein. "

If so, they had a lot of foresight, West Nile has been around continuously since at least 1937 and the form that finally arrived in then US '99 was more or less identical to several known strains and most closely related to a form infecting fowl in Israel.
