Its seems to always be the case with disasters that they only happen when a myriad circumstances coincide (think of any plane crash where three or four failures all happen at once). I do commend Bush for at least trying to plan for an outbreak of Flu; although like we saw with H1N1 (the near disaster), pigs, not birds were the culprit. Difficult to plan, but that doesn't mean that the efforts are all waste.
