http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opium_Wars Link to historic report of The Opium Wars. The Opium Wars, also known as the Anglo-Chinese Wars, lasted from 1839 to 1841[1] and 1856 to 1860,[2] the climax of a trade dispute between China under the Qing Dynasty and the British Empire. British smuggling of opium from British India into China in defiance of China's drug laws erupted into open warfare between Britain and China. This makes the british Empire; the first ever "Drug Cartell" making drug adicts of endless Chinese. It has had long lasting effect; but for the East Indian Tea companies cultivation of vast amounts of opium popies; in the Kiber pass area; there would be no opium popies in Afganistan; for the opium popy was native to Turey. The English speaking; were the original Drug Pushers; and have the audasity to call others Terrorists! They should have folowed biblical instructions: == ==
