Drugs;

I live in China and get a completely different picture of the landscape in regards to drugs. England invaded China in the 1800′s to enforce the Heroin trade, bringing in the drug from Afghanistan and India. When China resisted and tried to close down the drug trade, England sent the army to force Heroin trade into China. Western Government involvement in the present day global drug trade is a given.
Hong Kong was the spoils of those wars, England returning Hong Kong to China in 1997.

Governments make incredible amounts of money from the drug trade, and have been for thousands of years, this is nothing new. Sending armies in to secure and maintain drug routes, usually into countries other than their own. When a group becomes large enough to compete with a particular Govt’s drug monopoly, or attempt to cut off the trade as in China, Govt’s will send in the troops.

President Obama

Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it. The country didn’t go from one extreme to the other, it went further in the same direction.

Request;
