A UN survey has found that the illegal cultivation and a rising demand for hard drugs like opium and heroin is pulling Afghanistan apart, continuing to plague an already fragile nation.
American occupation of Afghanistan is the reason for this surge of narcotics in the country. Taliban almost eradicated this poisonous trade. Growing opium and distributing it throughout Europe, Russia and the Middle East serves the short-term and long-term interests of the Americans who lust after domination of those areas: A. Short-term interests: 1. Growing opium is very profitable for the Americans and their Afghan collaborators, and 2. Feeding the narcotic into the veins of the Afghan people destabilizes the resistance to the American occupation. B. Long-term interests: 1. The long-term goals of these Americans is to flood the former republics of the USSR with narcotics in order to destabilize the societies and make them ripe for American control - the ultimate prize for this grand conspiracy is the Russian Federation. 2. European societies will also be destabilized and made more susceptible for inroads of American "culture". Ironically, the American people themselves will suffer as their occupation soldiers become drug addicts, but this is of no concern to the Americans running this Grand Conspiracy, any more than they worry about the dead and horribly maimed soldiers enforcing their occupation.
