It's kind of funny they think they've got a perfect book, written by their god to test them and see whether they're worthy of heaven or hell, and they can't even decide whether the book says drug dealing is wrong or not between them.
that was the early taliban who were formed during the civil war. if memory serves. later they would become the very thing they formed to fight in the beginning. now the "president" of the country is the brother to the biggest drug dealer in the country. or it least that was the case when i was there in 2011. also fun little tid bit, afghanistan's mountains are riddle with metals of all different type. the country is sitting on a almost literal gold mine, yet they'd rather fuck around with drugs in their mud huts.
