! A Poppycocktail From The Taliban
Rating: ★0.5
And soon defeat the Taliban?
An opium dream! Why, no-one can!
It's all world trade: their export crop is
in high demand - it's opium poppies,
passed via equivocal Pakistan,
who somehow fail to impose a ban
on this corruption, which is wider
than any doings of Al Quaeda:
the most effective tool, the best,
for the moral self-destruction of the West.

oh, well, makes perfect sense to me. China's been fighting opium since before Jesus, and its still going strong as ever, in all its forms. A pipe dream, this war. An opium pipe dream?
