Laura, your posts #4406 and 4408, they seem to point to a war at any minute.
What comes next, is not going to be nice.
With Iran, comes Cuba, Russia and maybe North Korea, plus all the other communist countries attempting to get a lick in at us.
Thank you for letting us know that you are also working on the Iran thought.
Thank you folks for the links and information. Very helpful in staying up-to-date with what is happening.

U.K. ahead of U.S. in pandemic
planning
BY Bob Brewin
Published on Oct. 20, 2005
The United Kingdom released its second
influenza pandemic contingency plan since
March, while the United States still works to
develop and release its plan to deal with the
consequences of a massive outbreak of
influenza.
The United States also lags behind the
European Union in the use of surveillance
systems to provide early warning of outbreaks
that could lead to a pandemic. About 13,000
sentinel physicians in 25 countries, covering a
population of 464 million, provide weekly reports
to the EU’s European Influenza Surveillance
Scheme (EISS). In contrast, in the United States,
which has a population of 295 million, only 1,000
doctors provide weekly reports on flu-like
symptoms, such as fevers, coughs and sore
throats, to the U.S. Influenza Sentinel Providers
Surveillance Network.
According to the updated U.K. pandemic
contingency plan released Oct. 19, the country
will improve its surveillance systems by
increasing coverage and frequency of reporting
from general practitioners. To do so, it will
establish a case-based field information
management system that links epidemiological
and laboratory data and use a central Web
portal to improve information collation. The
United Kingdom will also use a real-time system
to monitor vaccine efficiency.
Sir Liam Donaldson, the country’s chief medical
officer, said yesterday that the U.K. plans to buy
120 million flu doses for its population of 60
million. “Planning to combat pandemic flu is our
No. 1 priority," Donaldson said. "We regard
pandemic flu as public health enemy No. 1, and
we are on the march against it.”
The United States also lags behind the United
Kingdom in the amount of vaccine it currently
plans to have available to treat a pandemic. In
September Mike Leavitt, secretary of the
Department of Health and Human Services, said
HHS plans to buy enough vaccine to treat 20
million people and another 20 million doses of
antiviral medicine to treat about 20 million more
people.
The U.K. pandemic contingency plan anticipates
widespread civil disruptions in the case of a
pandemic and puts in place the means and
structure to deal with those disruptions. The
plan states that U.K. business and government
organizations need to anticipate staff shortages caused by illness or quarantines and establish
minimum staffing levels. They should also find ways to provide sleeping quarters for that staff.
The plan also states that the United Kingdom should prepared to ban international and domestic
travel and mass gatherings, such as sports events. It should, however, plan to provide essential
services, such as transportation, utilities, communications and food distribution.
The United Kingdom also has a detailed communications plan with the public to prevent panic,
including updates on vaccine availability. It also calls for a coordinated effort by all ministries to
deal with a pandemic.
The United States edged closer to developing a pandemic contingency plan earlier this moth when
Sens. Harry Reid (D-Nev.), Barack Obama (D-Ill.) and Evan Bayh (D-Ind.) introduced the Pandemic
Preparedness and Response Act. The act would establish a national director of pandemic
preparedness and response to develop and coordinate responses to a massive, viral flu outbreak
in the U.S.
That bill calls for the development of an organizational structure and chain of command at federal
and state levels to deal with a pandemic. That includes ensuring adequate supplies of vaccine,
food, water and other essentials and maintaining essential public functions, such as utilities,
transportation, communications and fire and police services.
The bill also calls for an expansion of U.S. disease surveillance systems and national electronic
tracking of vaccines.

An Argentine prosecutor on Thursday asked a judge to issue arrest
warrants for 295 people who allegedly played a role in the clandestine
imprisonment, torture and summary execution of suspected leftists at
the Navy Mechanics School during the 1970s dictatorship. The naval
academy on the capital's outskirts was the biggest and most notorious of
the 1976-83 regime's unofficial prisons where thousands perished.
Prosecutor Eduardo Raul Taiano submitted the request to Judge Sergio
Torres, investigating magistrate in the case of the ESMA, as the school is

whether Beijing had made any concrete commitments. Yet China's
support could be crucial for U.S. efforts to isolate and block alleged
illegal financial activity by North Korea that is believed to aid its
