KABUL, Afghanistan — Drug addicts as young as a month old. Mothers who calm their children by blowing opium smoke in their faces. Whole communities hooked on heroin with few opportunities for treatment.

Use of opiates such as heroin and opium has doubled in Afghanistan in the last five years, the U.N. said Monday, as hundreds of thousands of Afghans turn to drugs to escape the misery of poverty and war.

Nearly 3 percent of Afghans aged 15 to 64 are addicted to opiates, according to a study by the U.N. Office on Drugs and Crime. The U.N. defines addicts as regular users.

That puts Afghanistan, along with Russia and Iran, as the top three countries for opiate drug use worldwide, according to Sarah Waller, an official of the U.N.’s drug office in Kabul. She said a 2005 survey found about 1.4 percent of Afghan adults were opiate addicts.

The data suggest that even as the U.S. and its allies pour billions of dollars into programs to try to wean the Afghan economy off of drug money, opium and heroin have become more entrenched in the lives of ordinary Afghans. That creates yet another barrier to international efforts to combat the drug trade, which helps pay for the Taliban insurgency.

Drug money is one of the US Intelligence Industry's main sources of Black Ops funds.

Round and round we go

They haven't yet found a way to blame this on Blacks in America..They really outdid themselves when they created Crack for the inner cities.. Not only were they able to make Big Money for their dirty little Contra War but at the same time do major damage to Black society..

Anyone see a problem with this? I believe 4 is higher than 1, so why not just mow down all their heroin-producing fields and give them money. It would save us 3 billion a year.

Why are we there?

I have asked myself that question and can come up with a half dozen explanations, and none of those are any good. Is there even one good reason for us to be reeking havoc on the small people of Afghanistan?

The Global Corporations will need a subdued indigenous slave population to work to death in the mines.
The American Working Class & Poor will provide the Blood and Treasure.
The people at the TOP will reap the profits.
Nothing has changed.
