Guess who owns most of that poppy crop that is used to make heroin? That's right. The Taliban. Who then use that money to buy weapons&supplies for themselves&Al Qaeda to attack US troops in Afghanistan while also supplying every addict&new addict in the USA with Heroin.Funny how people don't even realize how Afghanistan is almost as screwed up as Iraq. Afghanistan is now a combination of Iraq&Columbia. Ain't that nice to know?Isn't Bush doing a great job?

This is not news. Afghanastan is well know for exporting drugs to fund the Taliban. Bush's time in the White House has almost expired. Thank goodness.

Bush and cheney have more important priorities, like trying to pull their head outta their aasss.

[Mr. Burns]

Disagree almost to the point of detestation liberal views but drug policy in this country needs to be reviewed.Although you must know both parties profit by the current system.

I wonder who is getting their own Medicine, is it not the United States who funded the Taliban in the 1980's to fight the Russians and know they are fighting the Taliban. Isn't it funny how things come back to bite you in the ass for what you had done earlier. Old saying what goes around comes around and in some cases the United States is getting it back for garbage they pulled in the past. Another fine example is Iran where the United States and Britain with MI 6 and the CIA helped to put the Shah of Iran into power illegally in 1953. Funny what goes around usually comes around eventually.

It is sad that the only crop that the farmers can make a living off of is opium poppies. Perhaps the UN should outbid the Taliban and use the poppies to make opiate drugs rather then synthetic opiates now being produced. The farmers have their income and the Taliban goes broke similar to the Soviet Union.
