We probably agree, but I still need to find out how; You mean policy in the sense of "this is the situation, these are my means and I'll do XYZ" My take on policy was more like "because I do want to be in the position of playing some role (not now, but down the road!) I need to i) ... ii) ..." In any case it's two facets of something. re spread of SARS (watch me change the subject on a dime) it was the biggest of them all hooplas - we probably missed the horror of Y2K or similar - at the same time HIV has taken more lives since 1981 than the WWII. And while the laudable goal of fighting the terrorism got full attention and a couple of hundreds of B$ to boot, in 2002 2,3M Africans died of AIDS (that was on the top of CIA's pre-9/11 dangers list). Want some more? Asia is now where Africa used to be 15 years ago in this respect. And in Southern African states every third person is infected, with life expectance nearing 40 years. So, can we talk policy and defense now? Or shall we rather have defense first and policy later? >>You need some capability in place if only to evacuate your own nationals from trouble spots.[] << Is that all we are able and ready to do? We're talking plague, comrades. End of rant dj [] your sentence definitely had no intention of saying this. But as Johny Cochran would say:"If it is a fit,I use it"
