The
whole 'Drug War' thing is a terrible injustice and wholescale madness.
Slowly, slowly this fact begins to permeate the consciousness of
those who run this world, report on this world, pretend to understand
this world. A good starting place for looking into the whole
thing is a recent article by journalist James Delingpole in the UK
Spectator:
Here is a link to the 'printable' copy of James Delingpole's article kept on this site... quick to get, easy to read:
One such comment,
which mentions the well documented fact that the Taliban were actually
anti-drugs until the USA interfered in Afghanistan.

Perhaps, James, you and everyone else are missing an important dimension?
Every time a Serious Investigative Journalist traces the supply lines 'upward', they always arrive at the door of the CIA.
(The CIA is, of course, the same thing as "MI6" and "Mossad")
Google
"Gary Webb" (American Investigative Journalist) as a prime example. And
then what happened to him. "Suicided" ... with no less than TWO ...
SHOTGUN ... wounds to the HEAD. Huh? How??? ("Oh, I just shot myself in
the head, but I haven't killed myself ... so I'll have another go" ...
we are supposed to believe? Yea ... I'll buy that ... have two
gift-wrapped, please)
According to the son of the US Ambassador to
South Vietnam, during the 1960s Vietnam War, his father told him "This
is all about keeping the drugs supply lines open".
The Taliban
cracked down on the poppy production, which reduced the crops to 1% of
the world's supply. Now it's back up to some 60% or thereabouts.
I suggest you research that, and figure it into the equation.
And ask yourself "Why?"
