It must be nice to be so blissfully ignorant. The Soviets were communist, but they got to space first, and sent many probes and unmanned missions to Venus. People like you will be claiming five years from now that China is still "SARS infested" even though all evidence is to the contrary. If your absurd claims were true, China would have hundreds of thousands of infections by now, and would be in open revolt, as you people predicted it would be a few months ago. Of course, now that your predictions are proved untrue, it must just be that the Chinese are somehow concealing countless thousands of cases, because there is no way you could be wrong.

You are mind-bogglingly wrong. SARS is still endemic in China, in the south and in the poverty-numbed provinces. Bejing SARS is under control, but this may simply mean as some researchers have suggested, that the disease spreads more slowly in hot weather.

Think of how hard it is to eradicate SARS in Canada with a relatively sophisticated system of health care. If you then use your neurons and believe that the toilet-free Provinces (where running water is a great rarity) are SARS free, you have a major screw loose.

As far as your claims that China will be flying men to the Moon and to Mars anytime within what might be reasonably considered "soon," well there is more obvious missing cognitive equipment.
