It has been shown that the deleterious effects the greenies claim are bogus.
Liberalism kills.
Yeah, but innocent wildlife would die...then where would we be?
Very tough choice.
The primary victims will be the most radical, violent Muslims in all of Asia.
Oh yeah...scientist have declared the wildlife there to be more intilligent than people because they sought higher ground. I guess we wouldn't want to endanger any o' them smart critters.

Not to worry. The wildlife has a secret sixth sense that warns them of impending danger, like tsunamis, and gives them time to run away while evil dumb humans perish.
I’m sure this spidey sense will alert them to the coming DDT and give them time to get the hell out of Dodge.
WHO? Aren't these the same nuts that keep warning about a bird flu pandemic killing hundreds of millions?
I don't even pay attention to them anymore.
What to bet nothing of the sort happens?
Wouldn't be that someone is looking for more money?
Nah.
They can spray DDT if they want. As far as I can determine it is still in use in some countries in the world.
I remember the following week after the tsunami Anderson Cooper had some "Public Health" expert on his show to talk about the dangers of disease in the disaster struck areas. This guy, a professor from Columbia, a so called expert, proceeds to tell Cooper and the audience that there is no danger of disease and that he was worried that they were burying and disposing of the dead bodies too quickly before people could identify them. I was shocked. Cooper was almost dumbstruck. How could a "public health" expert, a policy wonk, say something so stupid?
Then it hit me. This joker was probably some AIDS advocate whose only "public health" issue was to keep bath houses open and silence any critics.
It does not take a genius to figure this out. If you think about it, there is miles and miles of flotsam and jetsam spread out over a vast area. Carcasses and dead plants are decaying everywhere. All in a tropical environment where all sewage systems and public health services have been wiped out.
Needless to say, I have not seen that guy since.
But the dead will die for a good cause...PC correctness, so that's okay.
There is no risk to wildlife. The Rachel Carson book and all the other "science" that claimed harm to wildlife was found to be false.
This is simply amazing to me. We can save 100,000 lives at least. *&^^ing PC bureaucrats.
True. Good point. No DDT for them!

Two weeks ago this would have really bothered me. I guess time does heal wounds. This doesn't bother me a bit.
There really is not much risk of disease from decaying bodies. In the tropics they get consumed rather quickly. It is a natural process. It is only if the bodies contaminate water supplies that there is a worry.
The lack of sewers and fresh clean water is the worst factor for the victims of the tsunami.
