They say a picture is worth a thousand words and I personally think this chart tells a story that would take too many words. When I think of Afghanistan, this is what comes to mind. Notice the one year that stands out? 2001 That dip was not caused by US/NATO invasion. That dip was caused by the Taliban(predominately Pashtun ) who took control of Afghanistan in 1996. Many might not know this but in 2000 the Taliban came through and destroyed most of the opium fields in Afghanistan, devastating the 2001 harvest, which occur in the spring before the Attacks on 9/11 occurred.
Opium/Heroin is Afghanistans largest money producing crop. It makes more money than all the other "legal" produce grown combined. It is trafficked all over the Globe through various sources. So killing this supply would anger a lot of people. Have you ever seen some one goin through a dope withdraw... They will do nearly any thing for that High, and the pockets of those who traffic it were most defiantly affected. Destruction of this supply would start a war.
So how does this
Said to be committed by this guy.
Relate to this??
What exactly is it the USA is fighting for in Afghanistan?
What was the motivation for the attacks in New York and DC 20 years ago? Was the country tricked into fighting a war for different motives than what was presented? Were many in the war fighting for an imaginary cause, were they duped by the media? Did they sacrifice their lives for a lie. I have a few friends that died in Afghanistan fighting that war. Ryan Cook, Casey Stoneking.
Why has illicit drug production in Afghanistan skyrocketed after the US invasion? It would not be hard to Napalm those fields.
Yet, if I were to try to plant poppies in my yard and harvest them I could be arrested and thrown in Jail. If I get caught with a bag of dope the same could occur.
Now today, as anyone with half a brain already knew as the US troops withdraw the Taliban has already started advancing and taking control of the land. The News people(media) are going to blow this up, 3,000 troops are already being re-deployed to the Kabul.
What is the point of being there, Afghanistan? Are we being fed bullshit to safeguard the worlds supply of Heroin?
Please discuss and tell my if I am right, or why I am wrong.
