Well, it's either vacinate them, or have them run the risk, should the crazed Islamacists let loose bioterrorism, of getting smallpox and dying. Six of one and 1/2 a dozen of the other.

Childhood diseases are always and have always been worse in adults, than in children. Lord Byron died from measles. Male adutls, who got the mumps, were made sterile. What is forgotten, or unknown, in all of this hysertia, is that children used to die / be maimed, from all sorts of things, which people, in the USA, no longer get. All of us, children AND adults, now get strange illnesses, because people now live longer and don't get things like whopping cough, measles, mumps, etc. !

That the U.S. and Britain are doing this in spite of the risks indicates a very grave concern that outweighs the inevitable deaths and disabilities from this vaccine.

Like I said before, I believe they know something they haven't told us about what Saddam has in his medicine chest. And I believe they have known this for a year or more, but haven't been able to level with us because they had to get the pieces in place for the chess game of our lives...wizard chess, if you will, where people die.

And all the liberals complaining that the President hasn't asked us to make sacrifices for the war effort. They mean forego the tax cut. But the sacrifices are actually ahead of us and will be great for some families, so there is no need to create artificial sacrifices now.
