Follow up on Iraq

This is a follow up on my recent post about the spread of the virus and disease to Iraq. According to Carlotta Gall of the New York Times, in her article "A New Sorrow for Afghanistan: AIDS Joins List" published on March 19 2007, the spread of the HIV/AIDS virus is definite. Recently the virus was said to only be known as underground but now the waring nation has realized that this too may be another problem added to their already heavy load. With only 69 people diagnosed or known to have the disease ever in the country, the number has almost doubled in the last few days because more sick people have been tested for it and more people are realizing that this may be another problem they must face in the country. This could mean trouble if it begins to break out rapidly among the people. Fighting a war and AIDS seems like fighting a pretty hopeless a losing battle. I just hope that one of the two problems solves itself quickly so the other one can be focused on.
