DRUG WAR CONTRADICTION

The United States' war on drugs has come to a fork in the road. We
can either eliminate the poppy fields in Afghanistan, which are used
to make heroin, or we can pull our forces and money out of South
America.

We simply can't condone one operation, and fight the other, unless
someone in the government loop is making a lot of money from the drug
trade.

All we ever hear about is the cocaine that is seized. We never hear
about the poppy fields of South America. The DEA knows they are
there, and I'm sure the growers don't keep all the heroin for
themselves.

So where do you think it is shipped to? Afghanistan!
