Intervention and the War in Iraq

I'm sure that everyone's heard about or seen the show on A&E called Intervention where drug abusers confront their problems amongst friends and family, and are shipped off to rehab at the end of the show. I think that this program has many underlying connections to the War in Iraq.
First off, read the title of the show. Can one word sum up the current state of affairs any better than Intervention? The television show and the Iraqi war are the same idea in theory. Obviously the scales are different, the conflicts are contrasting, and governments are replaced by families and friends. However, when you boil it down they're the same general principle; someone else has a problem that's gotten so bad that it's no longer harmful to just them but to people around them, so the affected people get involved to make a change.
Furthermore, many of the addicts shown on the show are addicted to opiates. The Middle east is one of the three regions on the world that grows poppy, the plant that is the basis for morphine and all of its derivatives. So the subjects of the television show Intervention could be funding terrorist cells to support their addictions. Hypothetically, let's try to piece together a possible scenario. A farmer in Afghanistan harvests a fresh field of Poppy. He then cuts slits in the plant to extract the juice to be used to make opium. The farmer leases his land from a prominent local leader, who incidentally has ties to Al Qaeda. The poppy juice is then refined into morphine in a shoddy factory somewhere in Iraq, and then put on a shipping container and smuggled illegally into the US. After a series of shady transactions, the drug ends up with Caylee, a bulimic heroine addict. But it's okay, she tells herself, because next week she's going on a TV show on A&E called intervention that's going to cure her of her addiction, and she just needs one more fix before the media can capitalize on her and her family's grief.
