Cholera is one of the consequences of war

The Iraq Health Ministry says reported cases of cholera have risen in the capital Baghdad over the past weeks to more than 80..

A ministry official said Friday most instances of the disease were reported in impoverished areas that lack water and other necessary services.

Most of the incidences have been reported in the eastern part of Baghdad, especially in poor areas routinely deprived of water and other basic services, an official at the ministry said.

The official said that six governmental hospitals suffer from unsafe water supplies, including Yarmouk, one of Baghdad's chief hospitals.

Cholera, which is normally caused by consuming water or food containing the Vibrio cholerae bacterium, causes diarrhea and can swiftly kill its victims.

7. Why not it has worked countless times before

In times of war diease is a bigger killer then the your enemy.

Sometimes you aid the pestalence by poising food stocks or dropping dead animals in water wells. You can even provide your enemy with a trojan horse as was done to native americans when they were gifted with polio infected blankets.

The result is a weakend indigenous population, less forces to opose our imperial agenda (manifest destiny), and our regional military dominence. The fewer survivors left to attempt to lay claim to their lands and vast energy reserves, the better.
