What’s bad for the goose is bad for the gander

From the dusty Dept. of Irony we find Indonesia unwilling to send the US samples of bird flu viruses because we might use them to make bioweapons.  The irony?

Defense Secretary Robert Gates laughed and called it “the nuttiest thing” he’d ever heard.

Yet deep inside an 86-page supplement to United States export regulations is a single sentence that bars U.S. exports of vaccines for avian bird flu and dozens of other viruses to five countries designated “state sponsors of terrorism.”

The reason: Fear that they will be used for biological warfare.

Stumble it!

    That truly IS ironic. We truly are an arrogant nation. No wonder we are viewed with such mistrust by so many other countries.
