The Post-9/11 Afghan Heroin Explosion

The War on Drugs. The War on Terror. Narco-Terrorism.
Prior to 9/11, the poppy production levels in Afghanistan were at a low and many of the Taliban were against heroin and the poppies. However, since U.S. forces entered after 9/11, the poppy crop has skyrocketed. The UN released a report saying that the six-year boom has lead to the Afghan crop being responsible for 92% of the world's heroin trade. With Homeland Security and the War on Terror, it's amazing that the drug still gets into the USA, one of it's strongest marketplaces.

Do these people deserve to know how and why their loved ones were murdered? Do we deserve to know how and why 9/11 happened?

Capitalism
Without the steady influx of drug money laundered through wall street, the U.S. economy would collapse. The Taliban were terrorizing our economy by eradicating the opium poppy.I did not understand how the capitalist economy kept going and going and going, like the energizer bunny, until Peter Dale Scott and Michael Parenti explained it to me. I should have been able to figure it out for myself. Go figure.
