Is it true? The USA does nothing to stop poppies and heroin production?

Question

Ok so USA needs a strong funded enemy right? Or else they would spray the poppie fields and Osama and the teliban and Al Q.... wouldnt be able to swap drugs for money. No drugs, no money, no guns, no war??

Really would it be so hard to drop sprays? Or are bombs easier to drop?

This is from left field, so why dont they do anything about the poppie production? Why is production up 500% since the USA occupation of Afghanistan?

Answer 1

True.Look at the opium wars of the past and the biggest drug dealers are known.

Answer 2

Sources that its up 500%?

Answer 3

ut oh

Answer 4

... it's easy to assume otherwise... but you are 100% correct Antonius, as proven by ex LA drug cop, Mike Ruppert:

(It's a good job someone so contentious is such a good researcher isn't it?  BTW this explains ALL about 911 too... )

911 was about oil and drugs.  The CIA is the worlds biggest drug dealer... as Mr Ruppert brilliantly explains and relates direct to credible and original sources.

Answer 5

y'know what they say, "follow the money".

it's all about money, not morals, not freedom, not integrity, not even politics, just bucks.

no one would make any money if they simply defoliated the poppie fields, there would be no "righteous cause" to blow hot air about if there aren't any bombs being dropped and people being killed.   there would be no boogie man to tout about if all we had to do was to stop the drug flow.

there needs to be a boogie man, but let's not say how we're all cutting our own throat for him by buying his candy.

Answer 6

We are not supposed to interfere with other countries' livelihood. We can't just wipe out the poppy fields because we don't want more drugs in our country. The land belongs to other countries. That would be like Afghanistan coming over here and spraying all our pot farms.

Answer 7

THE ONLY GROUP TO EVER CURB POPPY/OPIUM PRODUCTION IN AFGHANISTAN WAS THE TALIBAN WHEN THEY WERE IN POWER. IT WAS ILLEGAL, ACTUALLY IMMORAL, UNDER THEIR RULE. THEY DID A LOT OF THINGS WRONG BUT ON THIS THEY WERE RIGHT. OUR FORCES CAN'T ACTUALLY STOP THIS AGRICULTURAL ENDEAVOR BECAUSE IT WOULD r****d OUR PRINCIPLE OF FREE ENTERPRISE.

Answer 8

Because Bush is counting his money in the oil business.  He can make more $ buying stock then worrying about the heroin problems.  Cheney made 20+million buck leaving his position in the oil business to become vice/pres.  

Unless the poppies push out oil, there isn't going to be any funding.

Answer 9

Well an Afghani with a job is less dangerous than an Afghani without one.

Besides, it's none of the U.S.'s business what other countries grow.  It's bad enough that we spray the coca in South America. It's a plant for crying out loud, what frightens people so? If you're afraid of dying of a heroin overdose I suggest you don't take heroin!

Answer 10

1/2 true, kind of like what we do on the Pakistan border. We kind of fight.Same thing with the war on drugs in this country. We kind of fight it.

Answer 11

Every body blames USA for any Evil that happens anywhere and they expect USA to fix it.  People of the world understand:  The moral duty of USA is to protect their own citizens and border- by :  Eliminate imports- hunt down & deport illegal alliens- and block any way we can the importation  , transportation & use of illegal drugs - in USA territories....Foreign countries clean yourown backyards...do n't expect USA always to do the dirty work for you...and in top of that critisize USA...   Non USA residents- do not do the talk only  ....do some walk too...
