    So basically when we were in Afghanistan those decades we were guarding the poppy fields and bringing it back to America to start America's opiate epidemic

    That's funny because everyone participating in the growing, manufacturing, distributing and abusing of the heroin and meth are Sharia people. One of their favorite activities is stoning women to death for not wearing burkas. They hate women, That is why they prefer , , kzread.info/dash/bejne/pIyn3LmgorauftI.html

    US could have done a lot to help Afghanistan. At least, US can give the money back to this poor country, as you metioned that the economic destitution is the one of the major reasons. Just give the money back to them and cut the crap.

    @@BarryWinner2075 show me the evidence that can prove so-called "abusing drugs for hundreds of years".Long history of knowing and planting opium poppy is not equal to abusing drugs. what hilarious is until modern society had people realized and made full exploitation of all kinds of drugs.Are you suggesting afghanistans' particular success in chemistry compared to its poverty? The fact is that if there were the simimar numbers or the percentage of drug addicts there hundreds of years ago, when the majority took part in farming and had to healthy enough to defend against the invaders, chances are that they would be removed from the earth before be destroyed by SU and the US. I tryed checking it out when they started large-scaled opium cultivation but didn't find a particular start day until the SU took the power and that literally has nothing to do with"hundreds of years". If they have really been abusing drugs for that long time, like hundreds of years, why there didn't show any written evidence to show that people in the past suffered as hard as the do now. Please tell me when the recorded number of drug addicts there shot to the sky. Surely the aren't innocent, but there are more to blame on the US

    @@junkejiang3783 You spelled the word "tried" wrong, you spelled it "tryed" the correct spelling is "tried" .We can all agree that Afghan opium production and use grew during the Soviet invasion. The Mujahideen accelerated opium production to raise funds to fight against the Soviets. America had nothing to do with that . And America has noting to do with Afghanistan's massive drug addiction problem. You really are very poorly informed when it comes to history. Perhaps you should be watching Sesame Street videos, they would be more appropriate for your knowledge level.
