90% of world heroin production comes from Afghanistan and the U.S. is the largest consumer of illegal drugs on the planet. We also have about 132,000 U.S. and ISAF forces there. Why does no one raise the issue of why we sided with drug lords (northern alliance) to defeat the Taliban and installed Karzai, whos brother is a drug lord. The opium crop was wiped out before 9/11 and now look at it. Money is power and the easiest way to make money in Afghanistan is opium.

American will never give their lives for Afghansbut the only thing they do is their own business,,they have already started the business,,I do not support Taliban BUT in Taliban time drugs were almost completely eliminated from the country but look it now,,,From Afghanistan they took drugs and other Minerals and from Iraq they took Oil and everyone knows that,,,But they got power so nobody can do anything.

[Babrai]

In my opinion, Afghan war was between Russia and America but they used Afghan people,,America was supporting Mujahideen till the fall of Dr Najeeb communist regime and then America said we dont recognise Mujahideen as a legitimate government of Afghanistan,,they supported Taliban through pakistan government to disarmed Mujahideen so they can come easily to Afghanistan and we see that they blow the twin tower themselves and then they came to Afghanistan.

@chiefcheese08 Well, I can tell you that U.S troops and Russian anti-drug agents blew up some drug factories recently.

Not that it makes a difference in the grand scheme of things, but...yeah

"They (the American soldiers) are dying to give the Afghanistan the opportunity to choose their own destiny" the secretary for defence says! What lies! The American government doesn't give a damn about the Afghans let alone its own people in America where civil rights are being destroyed. The U.S. invaded Afghanistan for having an oil pipeline there and for geo political interests. The U.S illegally invaded Iraq and Afghanistan! Yes! Americans soldiers have died. And MANY CIVILIANS HAVE DIED!

@JoshAndBooze You fool! The US government through the CIA is guilty of drug smuggling and making money from drugs: must you be so naive? Look up this site: "WantTo Know.info". The US government is fascist! Why? Because it is deliberatley destroying the constitution, and because it is connected very closely to supra national corporations. A merger of government with corporations is fascism! Know this: The CIA is no different from the nazi SS and no exageration. Wake up!

shukriya barakzai is the one of the educated women in afghanistan and spent its child hood in pakistan.

@JoshAndBooze Eradication efforts to the supply of drugs do not eliminate demand, which is why the war on drugs continues to fail. Despite its stated mission and surface appearances, its purpose more or less is not to actually eliminate drug use and addiction, but to perpetuate a profitable set of circumstances. We could not fight an entire region where the opium poppy employs a class of people, we had to buy some of them. If this is wild conspiracy my words should be of no threat to anyone.

@chiefcheese08 Are you serious? Cause that sounds to me as if the US government had interests in establishing a stabil opium supply? You should also be aware that NATO spent millions of dollars destroying opium fields and that Taliban forces are widely financed by opium trafficking. Surely Karsai is not the innocence itself, but I would be careful accusing the US of such...

The Afghan government is not worth fighting for because they are a western puppet.
