Didn't have to burn them. A little Agent Orange or RoundUp would do the trick.

Let me explain it for you. Taliban burned poppy fields. US invades and allows poppy fields. CIA wants poppy fields, because it funds black ops. Make sense now?

Follow the money. All aspects, supply, interdiction, law enforcement, and incarceration. It is a HUGE government "industry," and the individual players are making money on both the illegal and enforcement sides. No drugs, no business.
