@TalhaRockx The US Navy patrolls all the international waters. The Afgani people are fircly indapendent people. I think many look at Karzi as an american puppet. Iraq I was against the US going to war there. serving in the US military is how my fathers family got out of mississippi and a sharecroppers life. when I see the abject poverty I remmber it wasn't that long ago that my own people were that way here

@TalhaRockx the pushtuns were roughly 40% of the total population in the 90s. Farmers are going to raise whatever crop makes them the highest yeild.Opium is not bad thing in and of itself morphine is made from it. The northern alliance folk were using the money from poppie sales to buy weapons,ammo,and other supplies including medicine. I fought the war on drugs and came conclusion as long as there is demand there will be supply.

@sass225 i was talking about after 9/11.and that submarines are still in arabian occean i guess.well i agree with u about masood.but masood represent minority means northern allies.and taliban represent 70% pashtuns and in a country like tribal afghanistan.its not possible.and taliban destroy all the drugs but northern allies never try to and now after the taliban gone afghanistan is became the largest drug producing country.

@TalhaRockx Thouse Submarines were from cold war with USSR afganistian is landlocked country, That Al-queda and afiliate organizations are the enemy id agree with there were several companies of al-queda fighters helping the taliban fight against masood. masood was a great tactician who had never been to military school he taught himself from studing history of war plus her was a trained engineer I wish he had not been murdered sept 9th 01 afganistian could have used such as he

It's funny how this news report tries to depict the Socialist govt. as bad yet it showed all the progressive reforms, such as empowering women and building schools, giving land to the peasants.

Wow, just imagine all they could have accomplished had they been allowed to advance Socialism by the fundamentalists.
