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!
