...modernize their animal husbandry practices, separating species (ducks are able to spread the virus without showing symptoms), keeping birds in pens and properly vaccinating flocks. The trouble is, such measures would require hundreds of millions of dollars to educate and equip poor farmers?money that developing countries clearly can ill afford. Officials at the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), which co-sponsored the Ho Chi Minh City conference, have appealed for international help with little success; wealthy donor nations contributed only $18 million of the $100 million needed last year to combat avian flu in Asia.

Beirut is hailed as a rejuvenated city of fortune. Recently, however, Lebanon suffered a stark reminder of how unstable and ill-fated the Middle East can be. The assassination of one of Lebanon’s most prominent individuals, former prime minister, Rafiq Al-Hariri, has largely been blamed on Syria—Lebanon’s neighboring state which maintains a military and political presence in the country.
