#1 Leftists like to claim that Taliban banned the opium trade. Never happened; in fact they took a 15% cut of profits when they were in power. However, as for "heroin" labs, these did NOT exist in Afghanistan until Karzai took over. For decades, Afghans - mostly in Helmond district - produced raw opium that was processed in Iran, Turkey, Italy or elsewhere. Currently, some Afghans are using the counter terror war as a cover for the drug trade.

#2 But isn't it mostly people who lean left, or are left, or if they had any ambition would be left, that are hooked on drugs? Maybe this, like abortion, is working in the favor of the WoT, in a way. Kill off the internal opposition by their friends and leave it to the righteous God-fearing patriots to finish the job once for all.
