It's just that I'm constantly hearing about smallpox vaccinations these days. Why smallpox? I mean, there are tons of biological agents that could be used in a terrorist attack, so why all the attention on this ONE particular agent?

I don't think it's sensationalism. If the media wanted to get us all riled up they'd be mentioning a lot more than smallpox.

Yeah, I heard on the radio that in a war with Iraq that the use of nuclear weapons by the US would be a consideration. That DOES scare the hell out of me!!

Even if they don't mean it. We're preparing to fight a guy who has nothing to lose, so we have to act like there is no limit to our retaliation.

We won't use nukes. In fact, I don't think there will even be a full-scale battle. At most a little skirmish.

Sabre-rattling is all part of the plan...

Yeah, and i'm sure they're thrilled to hear the words "terrorist" and "war" every 5 seconds from america.

I've said it in the past and i'll say it again, I don't give a crap about saddam but the innocent people are the ones who are going to suffer because of this. I've noticed how our "high-tech" missles have a tendency to accedentally bend towards residential areas. But its no big deal right? Cause saddams got his finger on the trigger and its aimmed at your house.
