True! It just appears to be pointed at us(USA), for the time being. I don't think it will stay that way, unfortunately. This is something the entire world is going to have to fight.

I'm not sure what 2kTurkey has read that makes him feel that way about 2x6spds but let me assure you that Australian public opinion is very much behind America right now.

Just to provide some further insight into Anthrax and the reason it's the one you always hear mentioned in the same breath with bioterrorism:
http://my.webmd.com/content/asset/adam_dis...sorters_disease
The parts that grabbed my attention:
"In the pulmonary form, infection occurs by breathing in anthrax spores. The resultant pneumonia, rapidly causes respiratory distress followed by death. Meningitis can also develop. The incidence of inhalation anthrax is very rare.
Because anthrax spores remain infectious for many years, the disease can be picked up from old animal products such as sheep skins, wool blankets, and so on. Because the spores are long lasting and the incubation is short and disability is severe, experimentation with anthrax as a biological weapon has been common."
"Pulmonary and meningeal anthrax are usually (90%) fatal despite antibiotic therapy and intensive care. "

Le Car, if you can find any "nasty" posts from me, please let me know about them. I don't believe that I have ever posted anything that was "nasty." Make me wrong!

And if you want to know my opinion,
you said :
"I don't know what the answer is, but I think the problem is pretty clear"
I'd say
"I don't know what the answer is, and I think the problem is extremely complicated"
As for nastyness, check your PM's, I can't see how I could answer that without breaking the 'no politics rule'
