Hospitals in Iraq are still treating Iraqis poisoned in a series of chlorine gas bomb attacks over the weekend. Eight people died in the attacks and 350 people became sick. David Dorsey, the medical director of the Intensive Care Institute, said the injured included many children.
David Dorsey: "I am worried about scars on her lungs in the long term. I also know that children heal up very well and I feel that it is hopeful that that she will live a full life without problems with her lungs."

Earth to America: Chlorine is put in your drinking water, and unless you purchase a filter, no effort is made to remove it--or even warn you that it's a poison.
Remember: Chlorine is put in water to kill things. What makes you think *you* are exempt?
