There's not much to fret about in simple particles of dirt or organic materials such as pollen (though they can trigger allergies), but lead, arsenic and DDT can be a more serious matter. About one-third of the arsenic in the atmosphere comes from natural sources - volcanoes principally. The rest comes from mining, smelting, burning fossil fuels and other industrial processes. Even in relatively low concentrations, arsenic is not without risk, especially to small children who play on the floor and routinely transfer things from their hands to their mouths. The same is true for lead, which comes less...
...crime did not occur without repeated warnings. Grievously out of touch with the reality on the ground, the unit's leadership was either unable or unwilling to recognize just how impaired 1st Platoon was and how serious and imminent a threat to Iraqi civilians Green, in particular, had become.

However, the necessity of such spending proposals does not allow us to ignore our deficit. Our excessive borrowing is a serious, long-term problem and should be dealt with by focusing on the skyrocketing costs of Medicare and Social Security instead of curbing domestic outlays that are necessary for economic recovery. But any fiscal reforms will be useless if they are implemented in a country that is permanently weakened...
