Current Events » in reply to Afghan Production of Opium Increases After Fall of Taleban . . .

Perfect example of shaping public opinion.

Remember the propaganda? That the Taliban was financing al-Qaeda and other nefarious schemes through the sale of opium?

Great example of how they demonize, lie, to swing public opinion prior to military operations. Might be a good thing to keep in mind.

Remember how some of us knew that, and pointed that out?

And there were other examples. How the US would supply whatever money was necessary to rebuild Afghanistan, stay for the long run, install the democracy for which folks were craving, and see that women had equal rights?

Well, it's happening again. More lies, that is. Not installing democracy.
