The graph "How Aghan Opium Poppy Farming has grown" shows why we needed to invade Afghanistan quickly.

Yeah the taliban banned poppy growth in 2001 and that's why the US invaded in 2002. 90% of the world's poppy is grown in afghanistan, and it's used to make all pharma opioids

Also gay rights. There is a big gay paedophilia problem there. Taliban prevented homosexuals from raping boys, and what do you know, after the Americans invaded they put these homosexuals in power and the homosexual paedophilia resurged in the country.
