That makes sense but we are not talking care bear dolls here we are talking hard core drugs that are so easy to stop.

The US army on the borders with Mexico and bomb the almost 40 thousand acres of poppy fields. Simple stuff...

The U.S. inexplicably did not destroy the poppy fields in Afghanistan, and the Bush administration has not moved the military to the borders to back up the Border Patrol as the patrol has requested.

Result: It is business as usual for drug dealers around the country, and some believe America is waging a phony war on narcotics.

What? Do you think the poppy crop grown in Afghanistan (THAT'S what I'm addressing here) is destined solely for the US?

Sorry, but, there are *other* markets in that part of the world for that 'product' (that is also an entirely US-centric view of the world ad ignores other long time established 'practices' of various cultures around the world) ...

First part already addressed above - the second part overlooks our involvement in potential war ...
