The next Nidal and the other Nidals are among them, and sadly, they will strike again, and even more sadly, the US gov’t will not reapond adequately.

Actually, I think there’s good reason to avoid using the term “swine flu” that has nothing to do with excessive political correctness — you don’t want less-educated Muslims to assume that they’re not at risk from swine flu because they abstain from pork; nor do you want them to avoid the vaccine in the belief that it’s tainted with pig!

And it’s not only ignorant Muslims who might have mistaken ideas about the “swine flu” — I remember reading somewhere that medical officials in Israel were also being urged by Ultra-Orthodox rabbis to avoid the term “swine flu,” for the reasons I mentioned above. Some of the Ultra-Orthodox aren’t very educated in matters not covered by the Torah and Talmud, so there was concern that some of them might think themselves adequately protected from H1N1 because they kept strictly kosher.
