Just kidding around....but seriously..as per Freeper Forevers spokewheel map above,
Opium and drug sales for weapons..is still a large part of the military procurement game.[not on the map..how come?]

China ..allthough said to be in conflict with "White powder whoever" who pushes Myanmanrs [Burma] Opium..has a back room concession arrangement with the Warlords on Opium.

Afghanistan is still producing Opium...Does Karzi look the other way?..part of the stay in Kabul...don't ask ..don't tell thingy?

Hashish still moves from the Lebanon...here Syria gets a cut allong with the clans of Lebanon.

Then..how much is World Bank..and IMF involved...ie..pay your loans..we won't ask how.

I realize that is a factor to be considered. I wish it wasn't.

Hey, may be we should classify drugs and narcotics as Weapons of Mass Destruction also. LOL! They are similar in nature. Give me enough info and I will do another map on this issue.
