Afghan addicts smoke heroin in a destroyed building in Herat city on October 17, 2011. Ten years after the 2001 U.S.-led invasion to drive the Taliban from power, Afghanistan produces 90 percent of the world’s illegal opium, funding much of the militia’s insurgency despite an expensive Western eradication program. Afghan authorities have been trying to rid the country of illicit opium production with help from its international allies since the Taliban were ousted from power in a U.S.-led invasion in late 2001.
