war against being sick

what with the war on abstract concepts (war, terrorism, popularity) going so well, i suppose it was time for bush to start another... bush considers military role for flu fight:
At the time the order was signed, a spokeswoman for the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said the Public Health Service would probably recommend home quarantines when possible, but said they would be voluntary. It's unclear whether the federal takeover of state and local quarantine powers that Bush discussed Tuesday would be limited just to travel or involve broader home quarantines as well.
interesting. doesn't cuba do that, too, to fight their AIDS epidemic?
