Nonsense. Bio's are useless as weapons of war, more complicated to work with than U-235 gun-type nukes, and far less dangerous.
The only thing that bio's do is scare little old ladies who don't know any better. Heck, AIDs doesn't even scare little old ladies anymore, much less West Nile or anthrax.
I seem to remember smallpox pretty much cleared North America for the settlers.Both Western European and Chinese civilizations were massively destabilized by pathogens several times in their histories. The lefties have done a pretty good number on Africa with malaria by impededing their access to DDT.
Seen what their doing with mousepox recently ? You can do the same with smallpox.
No one has ever demonstrated the cause of AIDS in any meaningful scientific way.
I'm more worried about Saddam's favorite toys, the chemical coctails which he has proven effective on his own citizens. In addition, I cannot help but wonder if he has aquired a fully funtional, "lost" warhead. Even if he can't aquire a nuke, he still has the chemical weapons.
Bios are nonsense, you're right...they are too untrustworthy and can kill the hopeful invador with the same impugnity as they could kill any of us...in addition, there's the problem with wind current, natural immunity, chemically induced immunity, etc.
West Nile, BTW isn't a bioweapon. It WILL kill...but it was a simple importation of a certain desease dure to our habit of global travel, and though a few Islamic nutballs were drooling about the possibility of how it might kill off all the evil infidels of the Great Satan, it mutated into a less virulent form (another reason bios are a bad weapon). Still, it was only brought to this country by chance, not intent. The people who get all panicky about West Nile get on my nerves too....even though I DID come down with a more virulent strain which nearly killed me, though I'm neither particularly old nor weak.
