Like i wrote, only 8% of the total heroin produced in Afghanistan goes to USA (they buy it from Colombia).
Guess what? 90% of that heroin goes to England. LOL.

Afghan militias were supplied with weapons and money to fight the Soviets, and after they defeated those fuckers, the U.S. didn't do anything as far as helping rebuild the nation goes.

Yeah, the same shit done in Iraq after the Desert Storm, yeah. And let me add another thing, same thing done by UN in the ex-Jugoslavia. We'll hear about Jugoslavia again, soon. I live in Italy, just in front of them. Things aint quiet there right now. Expecially with Albania..
--- Quote ---So what we had was a country with no real leadership; dozens of different tribes and militias running around with weapons that we had earlier supplied them with, killing each other; all sorts of different groups fighting for power, and eventually leading to the Taliban taking over. It became a haven for terrorists, and you know the rest. I think if it was up to Reagan, things would've been different, but unfortunately, we had the idiot Bush Sr. take over by then.

I dont know it, man. I mean it always happens like that. I've never seen things done 100% correct after a war. Maybe Reagan was better, but.. war = $$$$. That's it.
--- Quote ---Basically, my point is that we can't repeat that mistake. Right now Hamid Karzai isn't even safe in his own fuckin' country. Imagine being the president of a nation and having to fear traveling to different parts of the country. He was on his way to make a speech at a school a few months ago, and his helicopter was almost hit by a missile. He had to go back to the capital. That's a huge embarassment for a leader to go and retreat to safety in his own country. Afghanistan is nowhere near the status of an independent nation ready to handle everything on its own.

In the last days they've killed 2 bodyguards of Abu Mazen... so shit is out of control there too! Sad shit.

C'mon man, shit is deeper. Jamal said something interesting in the previous posts. It's not that they are producing shit legally. Opium is banned. But nobody can control the nation right now, so shit is getting out of control. It's not that USA is requesting it or buying it. Like i told you, English are. The problem is deeper that just "USA is making a profit from it".
*Jamal*:
The whole fuckin world is making profit off that opium. I think over 90% of Europe's heroin comes from Afghan opium.
Trauma-san:
Damn, I never knew Bush was a heroin addict. We need to vote this guy the fuck out of office. Man, in 2008, I swear, I am *NOT voting for Bush!!!!
