Question

why are our forces gaurding poppy fields.?????

this is insane

Answer 1

There's nothing better than Afgan Heroin.I think it's up to 96%

Answer 2

working over time,  people love drugs, it must be hard to keep supplies up with the demands

Answer 3

Because the British Army now oversee the Security of the opium production in Afghanistan, the crop can be safely exported, but without the Taliban extorting vast amounts of money from the buyers. This means that the Tribal villagers who grow  Poppy as a crop, have a sellers market, allowing a stable economy to flourish in Afghanistan, while at the same time, denying a major source of funding to the Taliban.

The price of this, will be western europe, and Britain especially,having to recognise the scale of Heroin use, and to legalise it, threby releasing the vast amounts of money tied up in the illicit drugs trade, back into the economy proper, through taxation, and saving money from the huge cost of enforcing stupid drug laws.

Well, it is one way out of the credit crunch, that would be popular with everyone , and do no end of good for Afghanistan.

Answer 4

When the Taliban took power in Afghanistan they banned the cultivation of opium poppies as it was against Islam.

The penalty was death..

After the invasion the people had no money,no electricity,no food,no hope..

The only thing they had to turn back to was opium poppies as a source of survival.

The Americans let them grow poppies as they could not or would not help them with the essentials of life.

Now if they try to stop opium poppies from growing , once again people will starve..Starving people will kill to get food for families

So the American and Nato forces turn a blind eye..  

Answer 5

The Taliban was very opposed to drugs. America's police state depends on drugs. The war on drugs is being used to eliminate the bill of rights and our people's freedom. The government cannot fight a war on drugs if there are no drugs. Our government also protected the drug cartels in South America for the same reason when the leftists tried to stop the drug flow.
