It's hot in Baghdad, too. After bombing it, the U.S. has spent some $2 billion (not million) for reconstruction in that city, but basic services are still lacking. Water and sewage were not problems before the bombing. But they have been since, and they still are now.
Talib Abu Younes put his lips to a glass of tap water recently and watched worms swimming in the bottom.
Fadhel Hussein boils buckets of sewage-contaminated water from the Tigris River to wash the family's clothes.
The capital is crumbling around angry Baghdadis. Narrow concrete sewage pipes decay underground and water pipes leak out more than half the drinking water before it ever reaches a home, according to the U.S. military.
