WOW, did this ever get sidetracked. Allow me to connect the dots...

Bush opens trade with peru.
Supreme court allows judges to give lighter sentences for Cocaine.
That could become retroactive allowing a few thousand to be released.
Yes crack dealers deal in death. That would just happen to be the federal government. The rich one percent.
Over 90% of the worlds opium comes from Afghanastan and heroin and opium are on the rise all over the world. Is it any surprise that this happened AFTER we invaded?
The same thing happened with Bush 1 in the 80's over a mid east arms deal and there was so much cocaine available that people couldn't give it away.
Like father, Like son.
One, the conversation is VERY relevant to the original topic since it deal with the mechanizations of the topic.
And Afghanistan has provided the vast majority of the world's opium since LONG before we invaded. It was part of the Golden Triangle as far back as the Vietnam War. How much further back than that it goes I couldn't say, but trying to lay it on our presence there is a no go.
