u know the taliban were destroying poppy fields, they break the hands and legs of opium farmers, some say usa invaded to protect the opium crops just like vietnam, using military transport to ship it; a 500% increase since invasion..go figure.

just to let you know opium is a mix of a bunch of opiate alkaloids like morphine and codeine, both of which are also pharmaceuticals.

If I had to live like that I would be high on opium 24/7...it's probably the only happiness they have in their lives!

When America nuked the two Japanese cities they killed 140,000+ innocent people. Another 2 million died in the next 5 years. They have bombed civilians of

Chile in 1973, and killed 50,000

Vietnam war and killed millions

N. Korea and killed millions

Libya in 1987 and killed 15,000

Iraq and have killed over? a million

Afghanistan and have killed 300,000

They disregard human life for victory.

Yet their acts are not terrorism?
