103. I was against W ever since he
signed the Patriot Act into law and then invaded Afghanistan so as to increase and get a hand in on the heroin trade. The Taliban were too good at the drug war, too fanatical, they actually nearly stopped heroin production. They even got US money for this. They were our allies. Supposedly we invaded their country because they did not "turn over" bin laden, (here in the papers this week there was an article saying W. and the neocons stopped our troops from catching him too). At any rate the Taliban were at war with many other groups and good old Al Kidea....(if it really even exists) was up in the mountains somewhere not fucking with the Taliban, so the Taliban worried about the people actually attacing them and the USA called this not turning over Bin Laden, someone whose location the taliban did not even know. This war is about heroin. Afghanistan was down to near Zero heroin, which let Burma grow in importance in the heroin trade (people gotta have skag after all). The USA and its allies went in and now Afghanistan alone is producing enough heroin for the worlds demand. (Burma is still producing so prices are down.) Local's in the know say skag is cheaper and better than ever before. Hell I have personally seen the quality of hash go throught the roof. No more cut shit from Morocco as Afghan black hash is everywhere and here in the countryside goes for 6 to 8 euros the gram when you buy 10 grams. Before shitty Moroccan was 4 or 5 euros the gram. Now shit hash is 2 or 3 a gram, good Moroccan blonde is 4 or 5 and you get top quality knock you on your ass Afghan black for the 6 to 8 a gram. This is the only good thing to come out of the war but it is not worth it. I like the good Afghan hash but I do not like that we killed a shitload of people so that drug production would increase. Why not just get the UN to legalize. That would have been too easy, but I think it is on purpose. Someone needs black money, cash, hidden money, to fund covert ops....oh well off to smoke some of Afganistans finest.
