Massive post-war rise in production of Afghan opium 

First Afghan war criminal is jailed 

Britain is expected to be hit by a flood of heroin
after a gigantic increase in the production of opium
in Afghanistan, the United Nations will warn today. A
UN survey estimates the farmers will grow 2,700 tons
of opium this year compared with 185 tons in 2001, a

murdering and the violence are self-policing, and can
be entrusted to

useful in many ways.
It serves as spectacle, as diversion from the real
movements of the War. It
provides raw material to be recorded into History, so
that children may be
taught History as sequences of violence, battle after
battle, and be more
prepared for the adult world. Best of all, mass
death's a stimulus to just
ordinary folks, little fellows, to try 'n' grab a
piece of that Pie while
they're still here to gobble it up. The true war is a
celebration of
markets."
