Yes I know, that's why I tried to show a way that it could be turned into a positive. ;)

Instead of an illegal drug trade developing, develop a new source for legal pharmaceuticals and food.

One other thing you forgot to mention since they've been "liberated".  No one has been thrown into a meat grinder feet first while alive.
- Yeah Saddam wasn't evil.

I see an interesting trend in "democratised" and "liberated" countries. - Baroda

nothing new about this Baroda.  poppies are a very easy plant.  they need very little water, and require no skill to grow.  its going to happen every single time there is war.   poppies financed much of the mujahadeen's war and ultimate victory against your soviet army in afganistan, as I'm sure you will recall.

There is something strange in Boroda's story. Rice requires the exact opposite of what Gunthr says poppies require > that is lots of water.

DREDIOCK has obviously been brainwashed by capitalist propaganda machine.

The Soviet Union is full of smiling, happy people dedicated to the principle of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness, which btw, was a Marxist phrase stolen by the insurgent white wig oppressors of the indigenous Americans directly from the communist playbook.

No I happen to know quite a few that left some of those countries for here.
Including a couple that escaped while being shot at.
One still bears the hideous scars suffered by the niceties of the KGB
His family confirms the stories
But prior to that I didnt need his family to beleive him.
The look in his eyes when he told of the stories laid to rest any doubts I might have had long before I met his family
