<President George W. Bush has singled out terrorist nuclear attacks on the United States as the defining threat the nation will face in the foreseeable future.>

George is so last-century. He's still wanting to race to Mars. There's nothing there but cold rocks. He's still fighting WWI type wars of coalition instead of pushing the only sensible way forward politically which is a multilateral NUN.

The real action is in the nano world, quantum world, cyberspace world, DNA world.

The big dangers are:

1....Influenza epidemic [which could kill 10% of the population first time around].

2....Meteor-caused tsunamis from the pacific [Tunguska over the water would have made quite a wave - those happen more like every 100 years rather than the dinosaur-killing million year biggies.
