As far as Afghanistan, I believe I heard that the presence of the Taliban drastically cut down on the drug trade because they were morally opposed to it.
I honestly thought it is the agricultural economy that was decimated and that is why rebuilding is going to be a daunting task. Instead of growing crops for food and trade the Taliban turned to growing drug crops. That is if the presentation "Beneath the Veil" on CNN is accurate. They show it relatively frequently. Perhaps there is a distinction between the Al Queda and Taliban, but at the time the show was made, they were using "Taliban".
I couldn't remember the name-"Reefer Madness" but that was a joke.
Do you all think the "TRUTH" commercials are effective for smoking? Maybe it all depends on more variables than anyone can really determine.
Those commecials did achieve one goal-they have people thinking and maybe out of the critiques something positive will emerge.
