For Americans like us with children who are living and working in London, this is very worrisome!
Especially, given the broken state of the NHS here!

People tend to forget that Britian is a nuclear power. Just one of its ballistic missile submarines could turn the entire Arab world into fused glass. If the Arabs are stupid enough to launch mass biowar against England, its response will not be kind (despite all the anti-gun sentiment in Parliament).

United Kingdom ready to meet an attempt to spread smallpox among the population. There already is a pox among the UK population, and the world population for that matter. It's called Islam, and its eradication will be a helluva lot more difficult than any traditional disease.

Oh, my God! I'm just thinking that Chelsea spends "some" of her time at Oxford, possibly in harm's way.
I fear for her safety, what with the Bush tax cuts and all>

This focus on smallpox is getting scarey.
It's like there's some intelligence we're not privy to which indicates this is a serious threat.

Having recently read Ken Alibek's book Biohazard I have a dim view on the potential for a known vaccine having any chance of stopping an engineered bio-weapon.

"Although smallpox was officially eradicated twenty years ago, some believe it has the potential to become a prime weapon in a bio-terrorist attack. Richard Preston, the author who tackled the Ebola virus in his book The Hot Zone, explores this threat and discusses his new book, 'The Demon in the Freezer: A True Story.'"
