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.
Yes, Saudi owned Sunni Jihadist Islam and its puppets and shills in the West have found few such excellent weapons of mass destruction as those that come in small several gram packages. Nor could they have hoped to harm the Christian world so much for so long and turn a gigantic profit from it.
Just another day in the fight for the Western (Saudi owned) Way of Life.
