Also, a large portion of the worlds drug trade is supposedly located in Afghanistan in the poppy fields to get the opium used to make heroin. This is a touchy thing because helpful drugs like codiene&morphine(just ask any Cancer patient)come from opium. And, when I was in heavy labor Demorol(a derivative of morphine)helped me immensely.NeverendingAbyss wrote:I don't support the war in Iraq, but I do support the war in Afghanistan because that's where the taliban is supposed to be hidingbrowneyedgirl wrote:It will probably take 8 more years to clean the mess up.
BTW, although Obama wants us out of Iraq, he mentioned shifting troops to Afghanistan. WTF? Spending for war is spending for war!
I want my share of those taxes back!!!!!!!
Some say finding these farmers&legally regulating these fields would keep the usefulness of opium, yet do away with the Talibans part in it. The money the Taliban receives from opium sales is said to finance their terrorist operations/activities.
