What is this "despite" they speak of?

Opium production rate has soared to 6,900 tons in Afghanistan in the past 10 years despite the presence of 100,000 foreign troops in the country for nearly eight years.

A report by the UN Office on Drugs and Crime said on Wednesday that Afghanistan produces 92 percent of the world's opium that has devastating global consequences.

The UN report also noted that Afghanistan's illegal opium production is worth 65 billion dollars.

The heroin and opium market feeds 15 million addicts, with Europe, Russia and Iran consuming half the supply, UNODC reported...


"...despite"?

Try because. And look where half the opium is being consumed.

The heroin industry is just a nice pad to the Company's black budget. The lion share of the dope is aimed at exactly who the Company wants to aim it at.
