That's the link with the facts.
1) Opium is big busniess like oil
2) Opium exports and plantations were almost entirely destroyed under the taliban
3) Western worlds want Opium
4) Western worlds attack Taliban, shortly after Opium market is in production again
Did we go to Afghan for Opium?

As for the main point of the article, the war lords now control the heroin/opium trade as they did before. The Taliban and Qaeda and even the US backed warlords are all dealing opium, so it's pretty much going to be there unless stability ensues and the warlords are brought to heal. Did the taliban come to close to that and the war lords used their clout to feed the US intelligence that would lead them to come invade? Thats entirely possible, they were likely very much in favor of the invasion. But I dont think it was a Western conspiracy.
Just so no one thinks I've gone soft though...

The farmers make more money from growing opium than grain, or anything else for that matter, so when it comes down to livelihood of their famlies, the farmers are gonna choose the money rather than dying in a ditch.

Oh I'm sorry I was confusing America with a high school bully. When you put it like that, its real easy to see how it doesn't work anything like that. I'm sorry for completely misunderstanding the whole situation.
