    You can see UK's resurging influence by UK's recent activities. The UK served as the only full partner to the US during the overthrow of the Taliban. After the overthrow of the Taliban, UK initially commanded the ISAF mission in securing Kabul. Then on the Iraq question, UK mediated between the US and other members of the UN security council. By contributing more, UK gets better leadership opportunities on the world stage. By acting out portions of US foreign policy, the UK shares in the American global influence.

    I differ to disagree. In the last 10,000 yrs we have gone from a generally ruralized lifestyle to an urbanized lifestyle in most cases. A survey done here in NZ about a yr ago showed the average urbanized preschool child caught 27 cases of flu an average a year against 14 cases for rural children. I postulate that 10,000 yrs ago children could have caught less than 2 cases per year. In that 10,000 years humans haven't had time to evolve sufficiently for infants to have such great exposure as they have now. I agree some exposure is necessary, but we how have documented cases of urban children who are perpetually sick with minor viral attacks. My arguement is that we have gone from one extreme to another. Sick children are also being continually treated for ailments especially infants for fever, the results of such regular treatments may well have detrimental effects. peterchen wrote: Of course, thinkng on you end up with the question: Is it better to risk the death of a few for a better life (and lifespan) of the "masses"?
