| UN contributes to Afghan Poppy Erdication |
| 2004-06-02 |
| Snip - I have shaved almost the entire article to get to the money quote: A spokesman for the UN Office of Drugs and Crime, UNODC, in Kabul said, "UNODC is fully supportive of transparent and legal efforts by the Afghan government to address the problem of opium poppy cultivation." The UN Office of Drugs and Crime? It’s kind of late in the game to be changing the name of Oil-For-Food. [rimshot] |

| #4 If the UN does as well at poppy extermination as it does at peacekeeping, we should expect a bumper crop this year. |

| #2 there's no bribes/booty in genocide. How much of the crop here will turn up elsewhere or be *cough* overlooked? |

| #1 OK-you've got a poppy problem in Afghanistan and human extermination in Darfur, and which one do you put on the ASAP UN action list? Poppy eradication. One more example of the UN's amazing inability to prioritize. |
