| | NATO force chief suggests new ways to fight Afghan opium production | | 2007-09-13 19:41:00 | | US General Dan McNeill, on a visit to NATO headquarters in Brussels, said he had made suggestions about what else the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) could do to NATO's top military and civilian commanders. But he insisted that ISAF, whose aim is to provide security so that Afghan President Hamid Karzai's government can spread its influence throughout the insurgency hit country, should not start destroying poppy fields.NATO officials acknowledge privately that the sight of soldiers ripping up opium crops would probably undermine their efforts to win the confidence of ordinary Afghans and turn them away from their former Taliban rulers."The fundamental principle is that the Afghans must take the lead for very obvious political reasons," added NATO spokesman James Appathurai.Afghanistan produces about 93 percent of the world's production illegal opium, the raw ingredient for heroin.The crop jumped by a third this year, helped by good rainy weather, despite international ef | | By: THE NEW BABYLON TIMES | | |

| Chinese Opium Bed | | 2007-05-24 10:35:24 | |
If you are antique junki, then I am sure you must be visiting Ebay more often than you care to admit! I stumbled upon this interesting Chinese Opium Bed on Ebay, which was made during the 19th century in Shanxi or Shandong. Now those are some impressive credentials! The bed is up for auction and currently selling for US $950.00.
“The opium bed uses all tongue and groove construction (no screws, bolts,etc.) and the craftsmanship is remarkable. As seen, the panels, and front of the bed are covered in decorative carvings and handpainted accents on the deep red lacquer.The panels on the sides and back is removable. The piece is “93x”59x”34 with the panels, “93x”59x”21.5 without the panels. It probably weighs 300-400 pounds and is immensely sturdy. Free pickup from my house at 43rd & Pine St. in Philadelphia (right near I76).”
