Based on UNODC data, there has been more opium poppy cultivation in each of the past four growing seasons (2004–2007) than in any one year during Taliban rule. Also, more land is now used for opium in Afghanistan than for coca cultivation in Latin America. In 2007, 92% of the opiates on the world market originated in Afghanistan.[1]

This post appears to be much more about your personal hang ups than about an actor who consistently failed to file his tax returns.
Yeah, I have a "hang ups" with illegal wars and violent theft.
It's a small issue that I'm currently work on with my therapist.
Every time I get to the breakthrough point, I keep regressing back to the infantile position of wanting to keep my own stuff.
My therapist recommended that I undergo police tasering as a form a electro-shock therapy.

Umm... No.
LONDON, 27 November 2008. The Afghan Opium Survey 2008 released today by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) shows that opium has become less important to the Afghan economy due to a decrease in cultivation, production and prices. However, opium finances the Taliban war economy and is a major source of revenue for criminal groups and terrorists.

So if we are the ones protecting the opium crop from the "terrorists" - who is profiting from the sale of that opium?

Which is a completely false statement...and I'm using YOUR source to disprove your statement.
And you didn't even bother responding to the fact that taliban, on a regular basis, torture and kill, non-combatants. You are trying to make them sound like quire boys when in fact they are terrorists to their own people.
In July 2000, the Taliban rulers of Afghanistan banned opium as "against Islam." After the Taliban was ousted, opium cultivation resumed in more widespread areas and in greater yield. In April 2004, Afghan interim president Hamid Karzai declared a jihad on drugs (after opium output reached a near-record 3,600 tonnes in 2003 — equivalent to three-quarters of world supply). Over the next two years, despite the assistance of several hundreds of millions of dollars of foreign anti-drug support, Afghanistan raised opium production to 6,100 tonnes in 2006, produced on 407,000 acres (1,650 km²) of land, including nearly 30,000 acres (120 km²) of government land - a production estimated to exceed the global demand for opium by thirty percent.[16]
