Its time the US let india take care of this problem by letting them into afghanistan for "peacekeeping". Pakis can go to hell if they dont like that.
Well... again, the problem with drugs is not the supply. It is the DEMAND.
"Opium production in Afghanistan was encouraged by the Taliban regime and its mentors in the ISI."
I thought that under the Taliban Opium production had reached record lows?? I had read several reports that despite their backwards thinking and gross shortcoming they were actually able to curtail opium production substantially.

I dont see why with all the genetic agriculture we do we can no create a non opium poppy that would interbread with their crops and neutralize the effects of the opium. Seems like it would look like the same poppy but not have the narcotic effect and they would have to harvest them all before they knew which plant was viable and which wasnt.
