irony: it's what's for dinner

DEAD SEA RESORT, Jordan (CNN) -- The Arab world should be showing "a higher level of outrage" over the death of an American businessman whose beheading was posted on an Islamist Web site last week, U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell said Sunday.

When people say there isn't enough outrage over what's happening in Iraq... that's not what they meant.

Nonsense. The trade in raw opium and processed heroin has never been stronger in Afghanistan than it is now. In exchange for about $90 million American, the Taliban had used their notoriously effective enforcement methods to pretty well eliminate the Afghan poppy program, because they felt it was immoral and because the US was paying them to do it.

Now, with the advent of the U.S. intervention, hundreds of millions of dollars' worth of heroin per year springs again from the long-dormant poppy fields.

Free enterprise - it's the American way!
