1. Afghanistan's poppy fields is one of the things that
disturb me about this war. I remember too many kids coming back from Viet Nam with a hole in their arm & a monkey on their back.

2. Or just buy the crop. It would cost about $600 million, I think.
And wipe out a significant source of Taliban funding.

Of course, the world's junkies might not be too happy if a shortage develops...but then, the market always responds.
