I appreciate all of the thoughtful commentary! :-)
I am guessing that the reintroduction of DDT will be a non-starter for reasons brought forth by others, as well as:
The banning of DDT was one of the major foundations of the modern environmentalist movement....their Holy Grail, if you will. The ban emboldened the Left with an enhanced sense of power, and any attempt to reintroduce it will be fought like a drowning man fights for air.
The region affected by the Tsunami includes areas notorious for containing militant Islamists. They will seize upon this as 'chemical warfare' being directed against them and will use it as license to unleash biotoxins against the West (although they don't exactly need any additional rationale for this, such a move would give them political cover among their less-radical constituency)
Millions will sicken and die needlessly as a result.
May God help us all....
So confuse them by revealing the infidel plot to suppress DDT spraying.
After all, Muslims invented DDT.
I'd thought about the "Sons of Silent Spring" getting hysterical, but not about the Muslim radicals. Good point.
