John Bolton, Bush’s Ambassador to the United Nations, has said that the USA should not have worried about the need to seek a legal justification to invade Iraq over Saddam Hussein’s WMD programmes: the Iraq regime was a legitimate target as part of an ‘axis of Evil’ which justified the Iraq war.

Answer 2

Cholera is an infectious disease that leads to watery diarrhoea, which further causes dehydration and even death if not treated on time. It happens when you eat or drink water contaminated with a bacterium called Vibrio cholera.

Over the last 5 years in India, Dengue cases have gone up by eight times and cholera cases, seven times. A recent report stated that every year, approximately 1,18,093 people suffer from diarrhoea. The disease is highly common in places with poor sanitation, crowds, famine and war. Common locations include parts of Africa, South Asia and Latin America. So if you are travelling to any of these areas with your family, being aware of the following information is important.
