" War, what is it good for? "....Edwin Starr.
#16
RE: " War, what is it good for? "....Edwin Starr.
I've seen some interesting reports (of which I remain stoically skeptic, in character) about opiate production. Under Taliban rule the amount of world Opium (illegal, the rest is in Oz) was below 10%. That makes sense. Then the Americans came in, and said "We know what to do with this stuff" and Afghanistan produced and still produces something over 50 or 60% of the illegal opium.

It makes sense because of something I heard Immortal Technique say: Heroin is incompatible with Islam. He meant the same thing I am saying here.

And I maintain that although it is not nice when other countries have mean governments, America (and Britain, and Canada) should clean their own house before burning down other peoples. If the fact that there is bad stuff happening is justification for war, for overthrowing... Why aren't the soldiers in Darfur, or Haiti, or on a reservation in the Midwest, or in Chicago's slums?

I also maintain that this is just my opinions, and I hope to make no offense.

Thank you for listening,
-Pip
