Iraq used to have no drug addicts under Saddam, today south of Iraq is full of cocaine, heroine and drug gangs.
I blame Afghanistan and Iran, as well as our failed undisciplined Shia dogs. Landmines should have remained, good use for smugglers
I told you often what I think of this erroneous designation of a culprit. It's the US regime, which strangely enough you're pinning your hopes on, that methodically dismantled the Iraqi state and undermined Iraqi society since 1990 (and in certain ways, since the late 70's or 1980). This was done through systematic, carefully planned destructive policies from Bush senior to Bush junior via Clinton. And ever since, Washington hasn't done a thing to seriously strengthen the Iraqi state either. Case in point, their laughable military aid to the Iraqi army even in the face of "I"SIS, their delays in delivering fighter jets and other such behaviour which forced Iraq to go purchase UCAV's from China instead. The way in which the US regime uprooted Iraq over the years means that it will take several generations to rebuild the country in the best case.
And I've no clue why you'd blame Iran for the drug use, it's not as if Iran is deliberately sending it to Iraq. Iran has lost over 3000 border guards, police and IRGC forces in the fight against these drug gangs and smugglers, and is the global leader in opium and heroine seizures... cocaine on the other had won't be entering Iraq through Iran.
Instability can always potentially spill over the border. Iran has no interest in Iraq being a failed state, the US and zionist regimes do. One US think tank scholar publicly stated that they don't want to see stability in Iraq, that they don't want stability in Iran either, and so on (he cited several countries of the region). That was one frank admission.
Iran forewent her demands for war reparations (while US-protected Kuwait didn't), the US pillaged Iraqi resources after the illegal 2003 invasion (even archeologic heritage wasn't spared). This should also tell you something about the way each of these states views Iraq.
