Afghanistan enters the headlines in a different note than usual, now for drugs. Afghanistan is the number one supplier of opium in the world. In most cases opium is made into the infamous heroin. Just as in Vietnam, great wealth is being made from opium and much of it is what is supporting the Taliban. Not only is it devastating the young and vulnerable of Afghanistan, but the strand is being found all over the world. In recent years the lucrative business has only grown rather than shrunk. Not much is being done to stop the production of illegal opium in Afghanistan, even with the knowledge being in the hands of western forces.
