Wrong senator. West Nile Virus is spreading because (1) North African immigrants who carry the virus are coming here in droves; (2) federal swampland, er, wetland protection has vastly increased mosquito breeding grounds; (3) the EPA has banned all the effective pesticides.

The government will go to any lengths to avoid responsibility for its own actions.

Thank you for stating some facts here. All this stuff about West Nile Terrorism is BUNK! West Nile has probably been around for decades but we haven't recorded it since the 1990's. Because it has Flu-like symptoms doctors probably just dismissed it as as nothing more than the Flu.

Why do you think West Nile started in the NYC and D.C. areas?
