*** Sar Wars *** I know this isn't supposed to be foreign affairs. But it is. If Sars was dressed in a turban, talking Jihad, the USA would be going nuts, foaming at the mouth, considering nuking the enemy. It's hard to nuke bugs though. A more subtle approach is needed.
The USA needs to quick smart supply China, Singapore, Hong Kong and anyone else who wants it, with Emergency Support Delta Force, Seals, [forget the psyops - the bugs don't care; the disbanded Office of Disinformation did a bad job in Iraq and the bugs will ignore them too - they should get a real job and be really disbanded this time], masks, gloves, goggles, antiviral compounds, and anything else which will help stop the spread of Sars.
Waiting until Sars Jihad has taken over China and sneaked into the USA will be too late. Yes, there's some Sars in the USA too, but most of the enemy are still in China. Kill them before they can adopt new disguises and hire more jihadis.
Not even 100 Americans were killed by enemy fire in Iraq. If Sars gets on the loose, which it's doing Message 18870952 then the number of dead Americans will make 911 look trivial.
Yes, Sars kills by suffocation rather than fire and impact, but either way, it's really, really bad for the families, not to mention the victims.
So bring on the troops. Tell King George II to phone Hu Jintao and offer total USA support in the war.
Singapore is probably okay, but it wouldn't hurt to be polite and offer them support too. They are good at controlling things.
Sure, the Europeans should offer too, but they are too dopey to do anything. The UN via the World Health Organisation is doing stuff, but this is really serious.
