So easy to knee jerk, and burp out a comment without any knowlege, typical pundit.
How much money has the United States put into schools, hospitals, water, infrastructure. The amount of money gained from selling poppy tears to middlemen who sell it to pharmaceutical corporations is vast compared to what the U.S. can give to them to grow vegetables.

What the fuck has Gary Webb or Freeway Ricky Ross got to do with Afghanistan heroine financed by the Russian and Chinese...hm
Do you realize there is a war going on..
