STOP THE BLEEDING
Does the public realize that we are actually financing the Taliban
in Afghanistan? Where do we think they get the money to buy weapons?
It's from us.
Our country spends billions of dollars on illegal heroin, and guess
where most of the heroin comes from - the poppy fields of Afghanistan.
Why do we not just destroy the poppy fields? Because that would
destroy the Afghan economy. How about instead of fighting a war
there, we just destroy the poppies and give the Afghan farmers the
money to grow useful crops.
