Afghanistan

Wednesday, October 28, 2009

A bombshell article in today’s edition of the New York Times lifts the lid on how the brother of Afghan President Hamid Karzai, a suspected kingpin of the country’s booming opium trade, has been on the CIA payroll for the past eight years. However, the article serves as little more than a whitewash because it fails to address the fact that one of the primary reasons behind the 2001 invasion of Afghanistan was the agenda to reinstate the Golden Crescent drug trade.

It looks like they are doing i good job in increasing the production. I just got done watching a news segment that said heroin deaths have increased dramatically in the U.S. in 2009 and heroin has become very cheap

The addicts should be just given the stuff. That way they are more likely to die sooner of an overdose. Then they are not a problem any more.
