Drug War Canada Afghanistan

If drug production has actually gone up since the NATO forces have gone in, it is hard to see how this country will have a happy outcome from liberation. Liberated to what? How will the world benefit from this? Money and resources are clearly going astray and one has to wonder if the problem with Afghanistan has been properly defined.

Canada and the USA are completely unable to stop their own domestic drug problems despite spending fortunes on trying to do so and are therefore poorly poised candidates to try to stop it in another country in which they do not even speak the language. Drug problems are increasing in Canada and the USA. I think that more mature members of NATO see this and are not so quick to jump in where us fools have now tread so optimistically. The drugs fuel the military insurgency and so the more troops we pour in the more drugs will be grown to fight us so called foreign infidels.

Is there really a viable potential alternative economy and supporting resource base and a will amongst the populations to see it succeed or are we Europeans and Westerners spinning this story to fool our bank rollers and repeating it often enough to fool ourselves. What we don't want or need to have happen is that we open up yet another bottomless welfare pit to send our money and human resources only to find out it is making the drug barons fatter.
