Opium: Iraq's deadly new export --Amid the (US-engendered) anarchy, farmers begin to grow opium poppies, raising fears (and Bush's hopes) that the country could become a major heroin supplier. 23 May 2007 Farmers in southern Iraq have started to grow opium poppies in their fields for the first time, sparking fears that Iraq might become a serious drugs producer along the lines of Afghanistan. Rice farmers along the Euphrates, to the west of the city of Diwaniya, south of Baghdad, have stopped cultivating rice, for which the area is famous, and are instead planting poppies, Iraqi sources familiar with the area have told The Independent. (Iraq - Afghanistan. Who is the common factor? Bush, funding his war on (of) terror and his oil smuggling operations.)
