You just have to love the morning news, AP, Brussels Belgium, Afghan heroin production “boom”
Heroin production is booming in Afghanistan, undermining democracy and putting money in the coffers of terrorists according to a UN report. You can not make much of a dent in the support for terrorists if you refuse to face the facts, George Bush is losing the war on terrorism. At every turn one can see mistakes being made, with our soldiers bogged down in Iraq, terrorist all over the world are gaining backing and support. When the ID papers of the so called dead terrorist in Falluja are checked, it is discovered that 9 out of 10 of these people were local and lived their whole lives as Iraqis living in Iraq. If they are terrorist they didn’t become that way until Bush took this foolish detour from the war on terror in to Iraq. What I see now is the same thing we had going in the late sixties early seventies, the great American military involved in someone else’s civil war, only in this case, we started their civil war for them.

What is worse is that the opium crop had almost been destroyed by the Taliban, and the production started back up again when the U.S. got there. This is no coincidence. The U.S. needs that drug money flowing through U.S. banks in order to prop up the economy. It is estimated that over 600 billion per year, and growing, in drug money flows through U.S. banks.
