Drug production in Afghanistan has had a 44-fold increase since the U.S. led invasion of the country in 2001. But why doesn't the U.S. refuse to stop this dangerous and evil industry in occupied Afghanistan? Maybe like in the 80's, the Russophobes in the U.S. government do not mind to foster the terrorist networks in the strong desire to hurt neighboring Russia by killing tens of thousands of young Russians with a new covert action of narcotics flow. Estimates of how much money the former U.S. governments channeled to the Afghan rebels during Soviet war with Islamic extremists vary, but most sources put the figure between $5 billion and $6 billion or more. If this is true, it is a repeated crime based on madness. The Russian intervention in December 1979 that meant to save the secular Afghan government and to prevent the neighboring country from turning into a terrorist state was the signal for U.S. Russophobes to considerably increase support to the Afghan Mujahedeen. Results well known, after almost winning war against radicals Soviet army withdrew and now American solders are dying fighting former allies of U.S. Russophobes. It has been repeatedly demonstrated that the drug business provides the financial basis for terrorism and is one of its main factors for its upsurge- said Viktor Ivanov, the head of Russias Federal Service for the Control of Narcotics. IT WAS OSAMA BIN LADEN, IVANOV REMINDED, WHO IN THE MIDDLE 1990S CREATED HEROIN SUPPLY CHAINS TO RUSSIAS CHECHNYA IN ORDER TO FUND CHECHEN TERRORISTS. The task of eradicating Afghan opium production is an unrivaled priority for Russia, said Ivanov. More than 90 percent of drug addicts in our country are consumers of opiates from Afghanistan. Up to 30,000 people die of heroin-related illnesses annually. Last year, Ivanov took his message to Washington D.C., where he gave a speech to the Nixon Center. There, he stressed that Russia is not the only country that is threatened by the scourge of Afghan opium production. Ivanov then quoted the political analyst and author, David Kilcullen, the author of the book, "The Accidental Guerrilla," a copy of which he hoisted into the air at his Moscow press conference. If the U.S. already bombing Taliban positions, he quotes Kilcullen as saying, why wont U.S. army sprays their fields with a harmless herbicide and cut off terrorists money? 7,700 tons of opium was produced in Afghanistan last year, officials say, which accounts for 93 percent of total global opium production. Needless to say, opium is Afghanistan's cash crop. Will the United States eventually give in to Russian requests for an active defoliation program, perhaps with the direct assistance of Russian planes and pilots (after all, the job would certainly contain extreme risks, especially when we consider that around 3 million Afghan people are involved directly or indirectly on opium production)? Stranger things have happened. Who would have guessed, for example, that Russia would agree to give American military planes clearance to fly over Russian airspace to a distant theater of war? But that is exactly what is happening today, and it seems that Russia will expect U.S. to take measures against massive and further growing drug production in Afghanistan for these help. Ivanov hinted as much in Washington. Russia is the main victim of Afghan heroin, he reminded his audience. However, it is helping the United States and NATO by making concessions. Russia allowed the transit of not only lethal, but also military Afghanistan-bound cargoes across our territory. This must be viewed as considerable support to the Coalitions activities in Afghanistan. Given this grim political landscape that presents a massive threat to both U.S. and Russia, some form of mutually advantageous cooperation should be achievable. After all, both countries share more or less the same nightmares over Afghanistan. Whatever the U.S. government's current rhetoric about the repressive nature of the Taliban regime, its long history of intervention in the region and beyond (including recent support for brutal Georgian aggression against civilians in South Ossetia and Russian peacekeepers) has been motivated, not by concern for democracy or human rights, but by the Russophobia, the narrow economic and political interests of the U.S. ruling class. It has been prepared to aid and support the most retrograde elements and evil actions if it thought a temporary advantage would be the result.

Heroin Afghan Drug Wars 1 of 4by candygir736,173 views
This is so sad. It does not pay to be innocent in these times. The CIA is the biggest drug lord in the world so it doesn't surprise me they have taken over Afganistan to supply them. Probably the stuff they burn is from farmers who won't play ball the way the US wants them to. Let's stop towing the line. Let's all just stop and regroup to form the world we know we want. We don't need gold plated toilet seats, a car for every member of the household.....we need to feed the hungry etc.
