The War on Drugs. The War on Terror. Narco-Terrorism.

Prior to 9/11, the poppy production levels in Afghanistan were at a low and many of the Taliban were against heroin and the poppies. However, since U.S. forces entered after 9/11, the poppy crop has skyrocketed. The UN has reported that the six-year boom has lead to the Afghan crop being responsible for 92% of the world's heroin trade. With Homeland Security and the War on Terror, it's amazing that the drug still gets into the USA, one of it's strongest marketplaces.

Afghanistan drug trade hits $4 billion a year

Yeah, it's pretty ironic. The US wages two wars which actually feed each other. Not to mention their Northern Alliance buddies, which are some of the biggest pushers in the country, lol.
