dreamdancer 0 #51 June 24, 2011 QuoteAt a rough count, the total number of lives - such precious lives - lost in the Middle East conflict since the Six Day War in 1967, added to the number of lives lost in the Troubles in Northern Ireland since 1969, added to the number of US soldiers lost in the Korean and Vietnam wars, added to the number of civilian and military casualties in our recent engagements in Afghanistan and Iraq, still has to be multiplied by two to get the number of lives that will be lost to malaria in the next 12 months. Precious lives, also. The combined cost of those wars is almost incalculable. But recent calculations say it would cost $6bn a year to get rid of malaria once and for all. That's 12 countries putting aside just half a billion each. http://www.newstatesman.com/africa/2011/06/malaria-lives-world-writestay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kelpdiver 2 #52 June 24, 2011 bit of a subject change, isn't it? I question greatly the statement that 6B would eliminate malaria round the world. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
