#1 well at least they are no. 1 at something. Who cares if someone is gonna go hardcore and use opium or heroine then they are going too anyway. I would rather it be grown there than right acroos the border where it would have even easier access to our market.

Ninety percent of the Taliban funding comes from opium. Ending opium cultivation would go a long way toward hurting the Taliban and their allies.
