Now they're conducting a "Drug War" over there too. The Afghan People don't want that and never asked for that. In fact the American People never asked for that either. That was never discussed as being a part of the original mission. Karzai is right to be P*ssed. The British & Americans have over-stepped with their constant meddling. They're leaving the guy no choice but to push back. He also may have more support for this than the British & Americans think. Enough is enough. We can't micromanage every nation.
They are interdicting the opium trade because it's the main source of financing for the insurgency.
It's a legitimate tactical move. To equate it to our "War On Drugs" is apples and footballs.
