Iraqis turn to pills to escape their hard reality
BAGHDAD (AFP) - On Saddun Street in central Baghdad, there is a pharmacist who doesn't like to sell his products.
"Dozens of people come every day to buy tranquilizer pills, but we know now which ones are addicted and we refuse to sell to them," he said, adding that many of the addicts are criminals and thieves.
The pharmacy is located next to the Battaween neighborhood, notorious for its drug and alcohol problem.
"One of them threatened me with a gun and stole my car," said a neighbor of the pharmacist.Well, now, they are officially part of the US. People with drugs, robbing and killing each other for drug money. Soon, there will be a prostitution problem (if there isn't already). Good job, George. Let's reinforce the Great Satan shit with this. You stupid sack of shit. Is it November 2006 yet?
