The idea of putting the military in a more prominent role in disaster recovery may have to overcome several hurdles, including laws prohibiting federal soldiers from taking on domestic law enforcement duties.
President George Bush last week hinted that should an outbreak of human-to-human avian flu occur in the United States, he would use the military to force a quarantine of the infected area.

But if a major epidemic or a catastrophic disaster happens the feds will come in and fix it. What is so evasive about that?

I fell that it will be an election in 2008 but as the results of the election that will be for others to decide and we the American people will have nothing to do with it.
On taking guns away well not sane American will give away their rights on that, I can even see groups of American citizens rebelling publicly against such an idea.
Now for the quarantine, well if we have an epidemic quarantine will mean nothing.

Quarantine will not work because no American citizen will allow anybody to force them into camps.
Also we are people that live in close areas and neighborhoods and work in close spaces by the time an epidemic is eminent the entire population will be sick including those that are to enforce quarantine.

Republican, Democrat, you twits all seem to think that your polarization on issues such as gun control, abortion, etc., actually MATTER in the grand scheme of politics.
Pardon? If you actually lived in America you might actually know that people don't say that. I assume your talking about abortion? Well, I'm a prolife guy and I've never seriously stated that I've wanted to kill someone. Really, when have you ever heard that statement said before by someone?

Well, "I'm a RIGHT TO LIFER! Screw you you stupid right to choicer's, I wanna kill you!", these kind of political standpoints in america, make the rest of the world hate you.
Yeah, the first amendment does say that they can have their religious beliefs but IT DOESN'T SAY WE HAVE TO SHUT UP ABOUT OURS! IF YOU MAKE US SHUT UP ABOUT OUR RELIGIOUS BELIEFS ITS THE SAME AS MAKING US NOT HAVING ANY! AND NO ONE IS GOING TO TAKE AWAY MY RIGHT TO WORSHIP!! NOT YOU NOT ANYONE!!!!

As for the abortion issue... sure the people fighting to be able to have a choice, have a valid case, but what's with you idiots who counter-protest stating that their unborn should be have a right to life? Stop trying to impose your christian morals upon other people. First amenment to the constitution allows you YOUR religious beliefs, so allow them theirs.
