The drug trade has a lot more significance in Afghanistan than is acknowledged. It provides funds for both the Taliban and Karzai's own pockets. As I have previously stated, I would use a soil sterilant on any poppy field found. These people are not our friends nor do they respect us. For Karzai, we are a funding and security source, for the Taliban, we are a pain in the ass, keeping them from subjugating the locals under sharia. I do feel for the average Afghan citizens, especially the women. They are the only reason I wouldn't carpet bomb the place.
I wish I had never watched the Lone Ranger, when I was kid.
