NATO- feel completely free to tell Bill and Condi to go pound sand, it is not NATO's mission to assume the role of world police.

And I have to assume Paul Bremer's order 81 in Iraq would also apply to Afghanistan and the scam is that the native farmers can't use the seeds they saved from last year but have to buy the genetically engineered crap from Monsanto.

Sources far more credible then Faux News tell us here in the US the world bank wanted illicit drug trade returned and the Taliban in their religious fervor forbid the growing of poppies.

In reality we here in the US don't actually know because info-tainment/propaganda dominates as "media".

Re: "Taliban in their religious fervor forbid the growing of poppies." I think in theory that is so, but how does one delineate drug warlords in Afghanistan from the pure Koranic wielding Taleban?

Most likely it doesn't matter to them.  They just want the drug trade back to finance covert operations.
