Avian flu has now moved from China to Turkey which by land travel is a walk thru Afghanistan, Iran and Irag to reach Turkey.
Is this evidence the virus is spreading? Europe is now concerned. Should the US be concerned and have a plan?

No, it's the flu. With modern therapies, a repeat of the epidemic brought to America by GI's returning from europe in 1918 is unlikely.
There are other diseases being brought home by GI's returning from Iraq that you should be concerned about though. Probably not deadly, but nasty just the same.
