Sorry to say this but this is what happens when you occupy a country for no reason other than to secure and protect the oil pipeline. We know there is no justifiable reason because the FBI have never indicted Osama Bin Laden for September 11 and yet this was their justification for dropping thousands of tonnes of depleted uranium on this country, that bin laden was the man behind all of this and that Afghanistan must be attacked because it is their government who are harbouring him. Now we witness the consequences its sad that these soldiers are dying in yet another act of deceit by the western governments but people on the whole can not face this truth and would rather look at the Taliban as being this evil terrorist organisation who is killing "the troops". It's also yet another example of how quickly the average person's history of the events disappears down the memory hole when even in 2001 before the date of september 11, the taliban referred to america as their friend and ally.

I know what you are saying by raising the issue of opium production, however even by conservative estimates, even the figures banded around the congress opium production has increased by 1000% since the invasion of Afghanistan. What's more they knew this would happen as soon as the Taliban were dethroned, prior to that opium production was beginning to fall but the Northern Alliance never had qualms about building a mass empire of opium production cultivated from the land. What's laughable is one that the public were sold on this idea that the Northern Alliance and fellow war lords would somehow provide a better quality of life for people when during their last stay as "administrators" they butchered and set people alight in their thousands, also that the government talks of this feed to fight the drug war there but you see this wasnt such a horrendous problem until the invasion and the regime change, its a self fulfilling prophecy.

It's very much like that muppet Bush who justifies the Iraq war on the grounds that we are fighting terrorists, when the fact is these people are a direct consequence of invading Iraq there were not there prior to this. I bet you real american is such an idiot he probably still believes in his heart that al queda and saddam hussein were best buddies. So again a self fulfilling prophecy. I will leave this open to your own thoughts but its publicly documented that the CIA recruited pilots to go out to Vietnam and smuggle opium back to fund the war in vietnam. Is it beyond the realms of possibility therefore that with sky rocketing production levels of opium that history is repeating itself?
