In other words, is there a way that the people of Afghanistan can receive a respectful amount of money or useful goods (food, shelter, etc.) after giving another country the minerals or ingredients necessary to create biofuel. Or will this just be another case where people from a first world country trade with members of a third or fourth world country for a certain substance (diamonds – South Africa, oil – Iraq, minerals for cell phone parts – Congo, etc.), and then the majority of the people in the third world or fourth world country don’t get a fair deal.

Do we rally want to get Muslims off dope? Is it in our best interest? Aren’t we better off if they remain narcotized?

Heroin and opium addicts aren’t inclined toward aggression. In fact, they aren’t inclined toward expending energy for any reason. Isn’t Mohamed nodding preferred to Mohamed raging?

Before Western engineers arrived in the Middle East with their noisy drilling equipment in the early Twentieth Century, the Muslims had been sound asleep for centuries. Bad enough we woke the bastards up, why clear their dope fuzzed minds?

Teach them modern farming methods so they can increase their poppy yield per acre say I. May Allah bless them with bumper crops.

It’s only a question of whether genetic engineering will get there first or whether nanotechnology pharma-factories will bet them to the punch. Everyone will be able to grow or make as much dope in the privacy of their homes or storage units as they want.

Better think of another approach to dealing with drugs than suppression of farmers.

We are busily working to “fix” the utterly broken societies of Islam without destroying first the cancer which brought them low in the first place, and that is Islam. It is Islam, and the ready unearned trillions which the accident of oil provides which has unleashed this 21st century nightmare of Islamic Jihad. When the rotting caliphate, the Ottoman Empire finally collapsed, the incompetent society of Islam had run out of options. It had failed utterly wherever it reared its ugly head — but then oil was discovered beneath the burning sands of Arabia. This began Islam’s century long trudge back from the brink of death.

Now, nearly a century later, we see what the wealthiest Muslim nations do when given sufficient funds and opportunity: they wage Jihad to spread Islam in the world. Whether it’s the Sunni brand, as followed in Saudi, or Shiite, as followed in Iran, the result is roughly equivalent. Terror regimes in Riyadh and Tehran fund global war to spread Islam. Jihad isn’t just the strapping on of bombs, or the flying of planes into skyscrapers. It also involves sending drugs to the infidel to poison his children, the building of Mosques in infidel lands, the paying for Imams in those Mosques, the buying off of politicians, the funding of chairs within Western Academia, the filing of lawsuits to subvert and demoralize, the demanding of “rights” and “respect” for Muslims from infidels, and even the selling of baked goods by little Muslim girls in support of the local Mosque or “Islamic community center”.

It’s ALL jihad. It’s all designed to subvert and harm the so-called “infidels”, and to augment the war camp of Islam. Every Muslim is axiomatically involved.

Poppies for biofuels is a ludicrous suggestion for all of the above stated reasons – but I also suspect that the energy yield from poppies would require gas to be several hundred or thousand dollars per barrel before it makes any sense economically.

Several axioms occur to me;

One cannot extract much blood from a stone, and one cannot extract much energy from a desiccated crop grown several miles above sea level on alluvial moraine.

One cannot expect the tiger to change his stripes, nature forbids it. And one also should not expect Muslims to change their genocidal supremaciet minds as long as they remain Muslim. Islam forbids it.

Don’t make assumptions about how much thought I have put into something.

The only way for drug abuse to end is for the demand to dry up. The only way for the cash cow to bleed out is to make it legal.

That’s the bottom line.
