  • wish they wouldnt restrict the location of this. im in australia and i cant watch!!

  • Solution: Stop the demand you kill the supply. People should stop being so fucking selfish looking for their high.

  • Completely disgusted. The first farmer got into drugs and should face the consequences not put his daughter in a horrible life to save himself. And these are supposed to be the "Most religious countries with the most religious people... but the middle east has some of the most messed up stuff going on.

  • An extension of the consequences of American Terrorism. The majority of Americans (who are isolated from reality and any element outside of the Bible and who also overwhelmingly supported this war) talking about "bringing freedom" to the people of Iraq and Afghanistan, this is a joke.

  • Afghanistan will stay corrupt and backwards for long after the US soldiers leave.

    Billions of dollars wasted on a futile war.

  • May God forgive us all! What have we created? There's no need for a woman to die to learn about hell ~ just be born in the wrong place. Lord have mercy.

  • In Mexico they cut off your head! At least in Afghanistan they give you a chance!

  • The older I get, the harder it is to watch stories like this. They pile up on each other, year after year, until one feels that there's no hope for our species.

  • :( that's so sad.

  • Opium Bride, like Crack Whore?
