Suppose you were writing a novel and saw yourself as a Ludlum wannabe:
So the thesis is that there's this horrible President of the USA and he needs to be removed as having been judged as dangerous to civilization by the Powers that Be and the Intelligence Community. So they take one of these genetically engineered viruses which has great potential for disruption but not species-ending and release it in a foreign city where there are multiple biowarfare facilities, The hope is that the Leader's poor judgement will cause the country to lose favor AND concomitantly destabilizes the Eastern Nations which have very dense populations. No one mentions that facilities being present in the city of theoretical origin.It's a nearly-perfect long-term solution to a difficult problem.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
