Maybe because it's one of the most densely populated countries (it isn't a
continent), public health precautions are poor (for political as well as
logistical reasons), and they'll eat anything they can catch.

Wasn't SARS outbreak a major problem in Canada too?

Not at all. There were SARS patients in Toronto, but it didn't spread
elsewhere in the nation, and it was actually contained within a small number
of hospitals. If SARS had started in Canada, the Canadian health authorities
would have identified it much faster and it wouldn't have gotten as out of
hand. Canada's public health authorities are better equipped, better funded,
and (most importantly) don't have to worry about getting sent to a labor camp
if they report problems to their higher-ups. All of those were apparently
factors in the slow PRC response to SARS.

I disagree. While no one thinks it was as big a problem in Toronto as it was
in China, it was a major problem. The Toronto Hospitals were unable to
contain it in the same way other Canadian hospitals were able to.

Re #49: Even if we find WMD, the fact will remain that the intelligence
was stretched quite a bit. We were told that Saddam had weapons already
produced and ready to use with 45 minutes' notice. That clearly was not
the case or we'd have found them already.
Re #52: I don't think North Korea would attack China. That would be
suicide.
Re #58: So, wait. We attacked Iraq instead of North Korea because,
while Iraq had WMD, it was *less* likely to use them against us? That
makes no sense.
Re #83: If you've got a real life, and we're such losers, why are you
wasting so much time here?

This is delightful. I don't think anyone has ever called me a pencil-neck
before. :)

Well, there's that, yes, but I was thinking more of the fact that when I last
put on my dress shirt with the 20" neck, it felt a bit tight. That's one hell
of a pencil. :)

Re #103: If I remember correctly, that's because a patient decided not to
seek treatment and infected a lot of other people.

Here's a link to a nice "leftist" database one can use to do research into
political figures and big business worldwide.

it's nice to take a vacation from yellow press and not depend upon news
generated strictly for corporate gain. Read and enjoy!

Actually, the real reason Bush invaded Iraq was to stomp out the source
of all the penis enlargement spam on account Saddam's son Uday had
actually discovered a potion that would make a white man's penis black
using prions and Dubya was worried that Laura would fall for a white
house aid using such on account his had withered due to steroid use
after dubya gave up booze. You totally missed the bit about the steroid
use didn't you.

Hi all! I belive america did the right thing whne it attacked iraq. Suddam
was an ass. He killed thousands and from the looks of things he was planning
another hitler move. I thank america for having the balls to do wot the other
countrys didnt have the balls to do. People like suddam need to be taken out
in to the street and put on there knees and shot. There is no room in this
world for people like him. If we tolerate it then we support it. There is no
middle ground on this matter. I do belive that bush and blair went about it
the wrong way. they should not have lied to there people. But on another note
america and the brits need to get ur heads out of ur ass's. You maybe the
biggest super powers in the world but that will not always be the case. so
i suggest u do on to others as u wish them to do on to u. But in this case
i thank you for ur actions and support the moves u made 100%. it had to be
done. but dont think we will tolerate the same thing from u. I know u get
blaimed for a lot of things that arent really ur fault. u get asked to join
things and then get blaimed for it then told not to help then blaimed for not
helping. and wots this shit about u (america) being greater than the rest of
us? Thats wot some of u americans sound like ur trying to say. just remember
to play nice. the world is like a pyramid the top is supported by the bottom.
In other words if u fuck us off to much with ur shit we will move and u will
fall from your high seat.

I think thatthere is no conspiracy theory, but we are a culture that must look
for one to explain things that we don't agree with. At the moment, however,
i believe that the world should, instead, turn and look at north Korea,, and
try to remember that they are the threat at the moment, as they already have
WMD, and it's been proven that they have the technology to build them.

Re #117: Iraq was relatively easy to take down. North Korea would be
messy. I believe Iraq was taken out not so much because of terrorism
(the connections were tenuous) or because Saddam was "evil", but because
it was an easy target both politically and militarily.
Also, North Korea has no oil, so it doesn't hold our government's
attention quite the same way.
