No. Not to get rid of them. To protect the trade if anything it would seem. I was pointing out that there is always more than meets the eye. How can there be a "war on drugs" when the U.S. has been sitting right smack dab in the middle of the worlds largest opium producer? Please don't use the argument, "well, if we destroy the poppy fields it will turn them into terroist"...
but did it to get rid of Poppies in Afganistan????????????????????? I guess that would explain a lot!
