Poppies in Afghanistan [Michael Ledeen]
I don't suppose there's any room for doubt in Andrew's categorical denunciation of the anti-narcotics campaign in Afghanistan. If there were, I would point out that the terrorists, most certainly including the Taliban, are major narcotics traffickers, derive a great part of their income from the drug traffic, and are in cahoots with various mafias in the project.
Has anybody asked if the local growers are going to be reimbursed? Or do we take the Guardian and the Times as canonical? It's bad, and that's that.
Life is rarely so simple as that.
