• Today, Iraq is an immediate danger to our nation. This time, we cannot wait. We cannot wait for Saddam Hussein to take a devastating action or to transfer a weapon of mass destruction to someone else who will.

In Third World countries where hygiene is poor and infections are common, allergy and autoimmunity are rare.
