Sit back and realize what you just read...the idea is to make germ
warfare microbes that target specific species, races, and
peoples....nifty, huh?


Are they declaring this as a goal for the US to attain, or as a probable
event to occur somewhere in the world?


So, with thinking like this, could somebody remind me just why
we should be on the winning side in any future global conflict?



You're right. Cheney & Co. are evil. Please shoot yourself.

Sigh.



Some people... so friggen' stupid...

Yeah- genocide without the need to build all those death camps.

Would you prefer to be on the losing side?

Do us all a favor and move to North Korea.

Report back in a year how much you enjoy life there. Oh, wait, they
won't let you use the internet, send a letter instead, oh wait...

I'd rather try to make this country live up to its ideals.
You don't seem to tolerate opposing points of view.
Oh well.

And to Scott- no. I don't want to be on the losing side.
I don't want my loved ones to be on the losing side.
I just think it's dangerous to always accept that our
government is on the side of good, without question.

The real world is what we make it. I think it would be better
off without biological weapons so narrowly focused as to
make them "useful political tools".

If you don't find the thought that the US is contemplating such
ideas patently offensive, fine. I do. I think this country should
be better than that. If we find out that another country is working
on such a thing, I'd support using all our precision means of
attack to go take it out.

Please note that I haven't called you a "fool", nor responded
with a bumper sticker like "Do us all a favor and move to North
Korea."

I think the key is the Thomas Jefferson approach; whereas all men have
certain inalienable rights- and among them life, liberty, and the
pursuit of happiness...one has to be selective as to what we define
"men" as. There are "men"...and then there are "them".
You know...property.

when I ran into it the first time in the report, I took it as a
warning about what somebody might try it on us.. but the turn of phrase
made me suspect it was something we are intending to inflict on others.
