LH,

I suggest that you read "On the Beach" , "Level Seven", and "Alas, Babylon".


Then remember that all were written 40 years ago, or so, and that biological weapons have made great "advances". I don't think that any nation's "neutrality" is going to withstand the next major ( "World" ) war.

Estimated causualties of GTW would be 140,000,000 Americans and 20,000,000 Canadians dead within 60 days... similar numbers ( actually, higher percentage for Europe) for the rest of the world.

And those are the OPTIMISTIC estimates.
