  Some time ago whilst we were within the JW's we were taught about the prophesised plagues that one day would befall mankind.

  Tonight on the BBC, there was a drama / documentary about the possible spread of Smallpox, afterwhich the news service BBC2 Newsnight also touched upon the subject within one of their reports.

  Here is the web address: * http://www.bbc.co.uk/smallpox2002

  If you have any views to share from whatever perspective, I'd like to know what you think about the reality? of bioterrorism warfare.

  Peace

  I think the terrorists will use anything they can get their hands on. I really think we're deeper in the shit than most realize.

  If they ever get their hands on a nuclear device and a way to deliver it...they will.

  We're dealing in large part here with religious fanatics. And you know from personal experience how nutty THEY can be.

  Celtic,
  Have you ever read the book by Patricia Cornwell called "Unnatural Exposure" ?
  I just finished it and was amazed by how much of a threat smallpox would be to us here as almost no one has been annoculated for this since the 1960's.
  Maes you wonder just what could erradicate us.
  Scary Huh??
