Afghans won't spray poppy fields

Afghanistan does not want to chemically eradicate its poppy crop. Hmmm? well, why should they want to? Would you voluntarily take 1/3 of your current pay to make some foreign gov't happy? Maybe the American government needs to accept the inconvenient truth that not everyone shares our puritanical values. Maybe we should stop forcing our values on others. How hard is it? Buy every damn bit of poppy resin in the country, every bit. If the free market for legal opiates cannot use the crop then just dump it at sea. Stop eradicating the plants, encourage small farmers to grow opium poppies. Why empower the Taliban by allowing them to profit from illicit trade abroad?
