In order to see the big picture, you have to take everything
into account, at the same time! When you do, you see we
have two problems: overgoverning and overpopulation.

Any out-of-control population is a pestilence to other populations,
except those is symbiosis. The problems caused by human
overpopulation are hard to see. If you don't read about them,
you're in the dark. In order to be in harmony with Nature, we
should have to endure our natural enemies, just as all other
populations do. A convenient place to start would be to stop
suppressing SARS, allowing it to spread unchecked,
and see how that goes.

A SARS pandemic would be much more destabilizing to
non-democratic regimes than to democracies, because
those regimes enjoy little popular support. This would
give an edge to the various democratic movements, allowing
them to do the work themselves, instead of the American
military. It would also come down hard on the biggest
troublemakers outside of politics, practicing alcoholics
and addicts, because of their weakened condition.
Of course, the elderly would be at risk, too, and the
thinning of that segment would restore Social Security
to health. Etc, etc.
