$800,000,000 down the drain

$800,000,000 is what we're spending in Afghanistan the war on drugs. Our new ambassador, Richard Holbooke, thinks this is wasted money. He said, "It is the most wasteful and ineffective program I have seen in 40 years in and out of the government."

Plus, the drug, Roundup Ultra, we use to kill the other drugs opium etal, is not exactly helping those who breathe it in. 'Reported symptoms in humans include elevated heart rate, digestive difficulties, increased risk of miscarriage in pregnant women, severe lung irritation, dizziness and heart palpitations."

Some wars are not worth fighting.
