is it the drugs or the funding to the Taliban that is the problem?
Two issues I'll present:
1) Recognizing the larger monetary return of growing poppy as opposed to another crop, would we necessarily have the desired effect if the money flow to the Taliban is through their protection of farmers and the transport routes? Won't the Taliban continue to get their piece of the pie of another crop?
2) Can we influence the farmers without addressing the land owners and the corruption within the Afghan government?
