Thanks for the video, Jesse.
I have always wondered why the US spy drones cannot find the vast opium fields?
It really wouldn't take more than a few weeks to "scan" the entire country from space, and then go close with drones in the areas they suspect. Lastly, carpet bomb the whole area... piece of cake?
But i guess there is more profit for some psychopaths in keeping the fields operating?
This is the opium production in numbers from 1994-2010

Kinda weird how the production is back online in 2002, considering the war started in 2001?
Is there a logical answer for not bombing these areas?
