No! BECAUSE of NATO operation. In fact, the very reason for NATO being in Afghanistan in the first place. What would the West do without drug money and the "war on drugs."??? For one thing they would not have so many young people to jail! They have "privatised" the jails and prisons so that they can make enormous amounts of money out of the prisoners who are called "assets". And, it is said that the Bush family, the Bush Crime Family make huge profits from the prisons in the USA. Since they came into power in the USA the prison population has grown beyond measure in these privately run prisons. Barbara Bush has lot of shares in one of teh companies whihc won and operate the prisons. It is like the privately owned FOR PROFIT "central banks" such as ateh "Federal" "Reserve" "Bank" whihc is nothing but a usury institution making money out of nothing at all and taking the real, actual wealth of the people in return. When a person uses a credit card to buy something in a shop the bank whihc owns that particular card does not hand ver anything at all to the shop . They simply type something into a computer which purports to pay the shop - but it is created out of thin air, literally. That is; the bank does not give or lend or lose anything whatsoever - BUT, they maintain thereafter that the card holder now owes them the amount supposedly handed to the shop. Then, the cardholder has to pay in actual money whatever teh amount was - plus interest! It is a very clever and strange, surreal, arrangement. it is called usury. The governments are treated exactly the same way by these so called "banks". They maintain that they are owed so many billions when they have actually given out NOTHING at all - but the people have to pay in taxes plus huge interest. All their hard work and all their resources are used to pay these "banks" (just counting houses) for what cost them not a cent! THAT usury and it has to stop asap. It is crippling the World and all the People of the World and it is run by the Rothschilds and their family and friends, their tribe, exclusively. Better wake up to this fraud, this theft by these vultures or we have no future, the young of today have no future. Literally. Wake up! Please.

You seemed surprised?, it is one of the reasons for them being there. #1 The oil pipeline and #2 was that the international banksters were losing 300 million a month in liquidity because the Taliban was chopping the heads off of opium growers. This "war" has nothing to do with the CIA asset called Al-Qaeda or with how the Taliban was treating women and everything to do with money and power. What saved the world financial system? Was the liquid assets of the various drug lords.
