I guess that our military invasion had NOTHING to do with our raiding them of their opium and leaving a mess... the US military would NEVER do that... Not even as the heroin druglord terrorists that declared war on drugs and terror. (Bush Nazis)

Such is life in the big city . . The Extremists will die off also maybe they will wake up and smell the coffee and grow food not drugs, Eating Poppies do not do a lot for your body ! ! Those do nothing for the body but growing carrots, corn, wheat, and other things makes more sense . .
