one of the reasons...

 

[perplexed]

one of the reasons...

It is not a reason for sure... However they are betting on poppy production to break even out of the huge incurring costs of war.

What's next?

Invading Bangladesh for Hilsa, India for spices, Sri lanka for coconuts and China for noodles.

Those college kids are sucking up the Ramen supply dry. We have to do something.

Any drug money goes to finance militants and terrorists, not the U.S.

Besides, if the U.S. Army was "waging war" on poppy farmers, everybody would scream bloody murder about the heavy-handed soldiers interfering with poor dirt farmers.

What a logic, like US really cares for what it has been doing since 9/11. US has bagged highest innocent killings award. The only reason it doesn't attack poppy fields is the opposite of your first sentence.

I have heard that even Molvis in afghanistan are engaged in poppy business. Once a molvi was asked 'khocha yeh tum is ka dhanda kion karta hai, yeh to haram hai'. He gave logic, ooh bhai, gadhay ka gosht khana haram hai ya halal, the person replied, haram, aur gadhay ki tijarat halal hai ya haram, 'halal'.... to mera bhai, poost khana / peena haram, iss ki tijarat halaal hai..

I dont whether it is a joke or true, but interesting
