#2 First we destroy the fields that the Taliban are protecting, thus removing favoured money source and bully boys alike... and thinning out the the bullied as well. Then we offer the rest help to plant alternative crops -- is wheat still more profitable to the farmers of Afghanistan than poppies? As I recall, they made more from wheat last year, although the Taliban didn't.

That's my guess, anyway.
