Invasion has not changed the economy of Afghan

The illegal narcotics trade dominates Afghanistan's economy, accounting for 60 percent of its gross domestic product and 87 percent of the world's supply. Heroin and morphine are derived from opium, which comes from poppies. The invasion of Afghanistan by the allied forces and the subsequent occupation has not changed the economy of the country. Rather plunged into deep sin and poverty.

The pictures below show the Afghan farmers (men and women) work in a poppy plantation in a village outside Balkh province, about 500 km (310 miles) north of Kabul. (Source: Reuters May 6, 2006).
