Since the 1918 flu epidemic was not caused by a terrorist, it infected and affected the whole world, I do not know if our government dealt with it as national defense issue.
Yes, but regardless of what was done in the past, what should be done in the future (if you were president).... do we need proof of Bin Laden involvement before our government can act?
And would you say that government efforts to eradicate small pox and polio were unconstitutional since they were not a defense against an external enemy?
