And the Afghans need to stop growing opium poppies and they need to stop making and selling heroin. The heroin needs to stop NOW.
Supply and demand, Tony.
If people stopped buying the opiates, folks would stop growing it.
Watch "Lady Sings the Blues" about Billie Holiday, heroin is horrible. And our enemies are giving free heroin to our people to get them addicted, and then they control them.
I have a friend who was in the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and the whole band was on heroin, my friend had to quit the band because of the heroin, and the guy who replaced my friend over-dosed on heroin and he died.
Our enemies are giving free heroin to our people and they are getting our people addicted and then they control the people.
They were giving my Uncle free heroin, he was very addicted, helping him to get clean was one of the hardest things that I ever had to do. And then he ended up over-dosing and dying anyway here in my apartment. He came to my place to die. I hate heroin so bad. All illegal drugs are bad. Heroin, meth, cocaine, it is all bad. We need to do whatever we can do to stop our enemies from giving our people heroin.
We will make the people of Afghanistan an offer that they cannot refuse. And in return we can send them seeds and gardening tools, and cotton seed and farming equipment, etc, so they can eat and make honest money. They can be respectable instead of being hated for sending us heroin. They can stop the heroin, and we will help them to be able to eat and to be able to have a peaceful farming community, etc.
And the best and the brightest will understand the glory of a good library and a good telescope, instead of war and beating up women, etc, and exporting poison such as heroin. How would they feel if we flooded Afghanistan with cocaine from Colombia and got their whole nation addicted? They would be ready for war. Well it is the same with me, I do not want people to flood America with heroin. The war on drugs can start right there at the source in Afghanistan, we can stop the heroin before it ever gets here.
We need to stop the heroin, and we need to help good leaders to rise whom we can support, and we can help them to grow food and to have a good peace-time economy.
Salute,
Tony V.
