The eradication of polio may take a little more time than expected (2005 is a very credible deadline), but it is well under way. It is a global effort unifying every race, religion and nationality toward the common goal of a polio-free world . Its success will probably be one of the great feats of the 20th Century, not only because it will rid the world of a deadly virus, but also because it will leave the infrastructure to fight other diseases.
