I recall distinctly: I have seen the result of Smallpox on people in India. There is nothing small about it. It is unsightly, can scar terribly, the entire body and completely and scarey disfiguring. Even if they survive the disease, it drives some people to suicide, but not others.

You are tap-dancing around this issue and misinforming people. No, I'm not. You're arguing with a strawman of your own creation, not with me. At first you said incorrectly that Smallpox was curable. Nope. Didn't. Treatable and survivable, not curable. You judge the nuke risk to be high... Nope. Didn't say that either. I said it was the most fearsome. And that it was the most destructive. Not that the risk was high. Anytime you care to to argue my points with me, I'm happy to engage... <g>
