Polio eradication at stake due to drone attacks

Smallpox was completely eradicated in 2011 and polio, down to several hundred cases in 2012 and corralled only within Nigeria, Pakistan and Afghanistan, should be the next. The major obstacle: Taliban, in 6/2012, ordered to kill all polio vaccine-inoculating field workers unless U.S. stops drone attacks on Taliban's leaders. We probably should count our blessings since not all human beings are created equal.
