Australian Troops in Afghanistan or NOT!

Scanning ABC's "The Drum" online page, I hit Benedict Coleridge's article titled "Afghanistan: we need an honest debate" (http://www.abc.net.au/unleashed/40058.html) and wuz impelled..., by a lack of marijuana perhaps, to scribe and post this in their COMMENTS:

All discussions avoid the underlying issue of the opium trade.
Afghanistan attracts NATO and other military forces' actions because opium and it's refined 'heroin' are deemed illegal, even while heroin is being shipped, by whom, in massive quantities, to the same western nations who send troops there?
If opium and heroin were made LEGAL drugs once more, by the dominant western governments, thus legalized worldwide (there is no CREDIBLE evidence for them being illegal) the Afghani tribes, et al, would then be freed from being victims of the torment of the utterly fraudulent "war on drugs", and allowed to grow, refine and distribute opium and heroin globally, profiting legitimately.
Clearly, there is another side to both the illegality of that drug, and to the profits being made by those who import it to their nations?
If the world employed “evidence-based” laws to this medicine, and to other long-used 'drugs', particularly 'cocaine', as is slowly occurring in a number of states in the USA for marijuana, not only would Afghanistan be saved from the aggressor-'infidel'-west and the resulting carnage, but the disgusting violence destroying Mexico, Columbia and other nations would dramatically abate.
To NOT address head-on, the issue of the legality or not of heroin, exposes all NATO and western governments involved as being corrupt to reprehensible extents, thus basically disqualifies those prohibitionist governments and policies as themselves being 'illegitimate'.
Legalize ALL drugs!
Prohibition kills!
(Now where have I seen these last 2 lines before Andy?)

Of course, I'll see if THEIR ABC has the Integrity to post these comments on their website, because they challenge the ABC's employers, the Australian government's and Rupert Murdoch's covert war on everyone having a nice LEGAL time of it?
