Right now our soldiers in Afghanistan are forbidden from damaging poppy crops. They must walk right by the fields, right out in the open like wheat in Kansas, knowing what it is and where it’s headed.

Thats our government policy and tells you all you need to know.

That's just fine by me. No more War on Drugs where they're grown. No more War on Drugs on the border. No more War on Drugs on the streets, or in people's homes.

How long would it take for drug lords to settle down into to some sort of civilized place? Decades? A couple centuries? Bootleggers did it. Vikings became Normans, who became French and English nobility.

Fifty years of this corrupting War on Drugs - it's not working out too well.

I hate the thought that you may be right but everything you say is true and makes perfect sense.
