...nations in the region have minimal stocks of antiviral drugs and no pandemic action plan. H5N1 vaccine, still in development, would not arrive in time to make a difference. If a pandemic occurred tomorrow, says Stohr, Asia would be "playing it by ear," politically improvising even as the death toll rose. "One of the most difficult things to explain to the public after a pandemic would be why we weren't prepared, because there have been enough warnings," he adds...
...perhaps to some malicious fluke in the internal wiring of human nature, there’s nothing quite as satisfying as cruising (albeit only at a cool 15mph) through the EZ-Pass lane at a particularly large and heavily trafficked toll plaza, while dozens of cars slow to a gridlocked crawl around you. What you probably aren’t thinking about, however, as you revel in the glory of your Schadenfreude, is your divorce proceedings, 10 years down the line. There, your present-day fiancee (at that point your soon-to-be ex-wife) might be using records...
...wonder, if just a little, whether a particular search might come back to haunt you, or who might know that you ate dinner at Adams in violation of interhouse restrictions.

...would be ethically irresponsible. While we may not have favored invasion in the first place, America made a promise to the people of Iraq—and America must make a good faith effort to fulfill that promise. After all, this war has taken a profoundly larger toll on innocent Iraqi civilians—unofficial estimates range from at least 10,000 to 37,000—and all of them, in addition to the thousand Americans, deserve to have died in a worthwhile struggle. While removing Saddam Hussein was an undeniable victory, a violent civil war hardly leaves Iraq...
...troops and the frail forces of the interim Iraqi government. All this has helped make the peace much bloodier than the war: last month anti-U.S. attacks climbed to 87 a day, more than double the rate in 2003 and the first half of 2004. The U.S. death toll since sovereignty was returned to Iraq on June 28 has eclipsed the number killed in the invasion, and the total tally just passed 1,000. The wounded number more than 7,000. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld estimates that coalition forces killed up to 2,500 suspected insurgents in August...
