Re: How does everyone feel about Israel?

You're like the Pepsi Addict of politics and global affairs.

Why? All I'm saying is that you can't blame Europeans for the world's drug problems.

So if there is an INCREASE in Opium production which benefits DRUG LORDS, who do you think is supporting these "underground" operations?

oh come on, lol, so the reason the West got into afghanistan is for the opium? If that's case, why do these countries have enforcement to crack down on drug dealing?

They don't like others to profit from it. You think governments are clean? lol

Imagine if drugs were legal, anyone would be able to grow them and nobody would profit. Problem solved.

One of the long list of reasons. I'll tell you which reason is not one of them though: humanitarian aid to Afghanis. Love or hate the Taliban, they almost completely eradicated the Afghan drug trade based on religious grounds.

never said governments are clean, but I think it's over the top to say that the West has put all that resources in fighting the Afghan war, just for some drug trade. And also blaming Europeans for the world's drug problems. (like Europeans are the only ones that use drugs)

Well they were good only in that respect. My views for the Afghan War is for the NATO to diminish influence of Taliban/al-qaeda, but also creating a foothold in this area by creating an approved government.

America was founded on Tobacco. Do you have any idea what kind of a profit a simple thing like the cigarette makes? People sit in school for 30-40 years to become a professional of some sort and are in debt till they die meanwhile something as simple as growing a plant and rolling it in paper makes billions. Granted opium isn't the only reason for the "mission" in Afghanistan but it's a rather nice bargaining chip for propping up a corrupt government.

I know the importance of such crops, but my point was you can't blame a continent for all the world's drug problems. Drugs is a worldwide problem - and all sensible nations (including European) try to crack down on such drug trade.
