In Afghanistan, we know exactly where the opium fields are located. We watch when they are planted and receive progress reports as to how much of a crop they will receive.
We then monitor the harvesting and know exactly the routes that are taken to the world market.
Doesn’t it seem stupid to let this occur rather than doing something about it?
Has it ever occurred to anyone to spray insecticide on the entire crop while it is growing to wipe it out?
