Taliban and all... Fact: When the Taliban ruled Afgn, they made opium poppies illegal...?

Question

They made opium poppies illegal because it came against Islam's ways. The same way Islam doesn't tolerate alcool, it regards drugs as evil. In fact the Taliban had pretty much eradicated the opium production. Please keep in mind that the only, or most likely punishment was death in varieties of not very subtil ways, beheading, stoning etc... Now that we have taken control of that country, Afgn became for the first time the world main opium producer. We all recall how the CIA introduced and sold crack in the 80's in the Watts getto.CIA personnels went on live TV explaining that, every days, cargo planes full of coke were making deliveries at army bases over the nation (For more info, go to www.youtube.com/watch?V=Mwef7qeaVCU&mode=related&search= ).Part of the money was then directed to contras and others fighting the russians in Afgn. Bin Laden being only one of them.Who are we founding now? Aliburton? Who are the victims? Is there any honest way to agree or close our eyes to this???

Just so everyone knows, I do love USA, I never in a million years approved of Talibans who in fact I consider as monsters.
To verify my posting, go to the United Nations Drugs Agency reports web site:

If you go to Google and search the US drugs agency web site in opium production per years, US also claims that the Talibans stopped the production.
The question is somewhat misperceived. My main concern is that if we allow the production to go on and possibly participate, there will be a need for customers the same way as the CIA sold crack in LA and didn't care how many got hurt. Keep in mind our own government created the crack babies...

Am I doing something wrong in questioning our leaders acts?
