Cholera

Yes, now on top of everything else, we have cholera reaching Baghdad. Why? It's simple .....

You see, insurgents have been blowing up chlorine trucks as a weapon. So what does the military do? Stop chlorine shipments into the area. But wait you say. Isn't chlorine necessary for drinking water? Well yes, drinking water is necessary. But without chlorine residents are left to drink the sewage water downstream of large populations. And of course, we know what that leads too.

But there haven't been any chlorine trucks blowing up!
