That's the link with the facts.

1) Opium is big busniess like oil

2) Opium exports and plantations were almost entirely destroyed under the taliban

3) Western worlds want Opium

4) Western worlds attack Taliban, shortly after Opium market is in production again


Did we go to Afghan for Opium?

I don't know what to think anymore, I heard that Bush and his brother used to be cocaine dealers. Although I have a feeling that the Afghanistan war was so that the pipeline that made many of Bush's backers trillions of dollars could be finished might just be the major reason though.

Wait wait, there's a WAR in AFGHANISTAN? Jordan you so crazeeeey. The only war going on is in Iraq. Sure, I hear theres some al qaeda types hanging out in Afghanistan but we need to focus on defeating Iraq... For... Some... Reason.

As for the main point of the article, the war lords now control the heroin/opium trade as they did before. The Taliban and Qaeda and even the US backed warlords are all dealing opium, so it's pretty much going to be there unless stability ensues and the warlords are brought to heal. Did the taliban come to close to that and the war lords used their clout to feed the US intelligence that would lead them to come invade? Thats entirely possible, they were likely very much in favor of the invasion. But I dont think it was a Western conspiracy.

Just so no one thinks I've gone soft though...

Its a shame about Afghanistan. As soon as Iraq started, Afghanistan just sorta lost the lime light. Now the bad guys are creeping back in, because there isnt enough troops, and the opium flows again.

The farmers make more money from growing opium than grain, or anything else for that matter, so when it comes down to livelihood of their famlies, the farmers are gonna choose the money rather than dying in a ditch.

What? who cares about Canada? If I offended any Canadian posters, I'm sorry but not really. (also, I'm sorry that I'm replying in a year old topic, but there was nothing else that interested me.)

I'm pretty sure most sane people and Canadians care about Canadians. Lives are lives, regardless of what side of map lines they're born/living in. And did this thread really need to be necro'd? Though it's only almost two months old, not a year.

We didn't invade Afghanistan for Opium -___- ... the profits we supposidly would or could make from opium exceed the costs of war and impairs our ability to fight elsewhere. Even with Iraq, we didn't go there FOR the oil, it just enhanced our need to keep the region in our mitts. All these things are indirect. We didn't put the Shah in Iran so we could have all of Iran's oil, we put the Shah in power so that we had a pro US / West leader who WOULD trade oil with us and keep us as a regional power.

As if that makes it ok? Screwing with sovereign governments for your own gain is stil bad no matter if it's for oil or for "Stability" which, as we learned from Three Kings, basically means oil.

So what you are saying is "They didn't invade for oil, they invaded to put a puppet leader in power who would give them oil".

Oh I'm sorry I was confusing America with a high school bully. When you put it like that, its real easy to see how it doesn't work anything like that. I'm sorry for completely misunderstanding the whole situation. dry.gif
