Opium fields spread across Iraq as farmers try to make ends meet

By Patrick Cockburn / The Independent

The cultivation of opium poppies whose product is turned into heroin is spreading rapidly across Iraq as farmers find they can no longer make a living through growing traditional crops.

Afghan with experience in planting poppies have been helping farmers switch to producing opium in fertile parts of Diyala province, once famous for its oranges and pomegranates, north- east of Baghdad.

...did Saddam do this to Iraq? How much drugs do Americans need to numb themselves from the effect of their "enviable" lifestyle?
