The new opium war

Washington Times:

"The United States soon will begin a major drug-eradication effort in Afghanistan, targeting opium production that has risen twentyfold over the past two years to levels similar to peak production under the terrorist-tied Taliban regime.

"The program will target not only Afghan opium producers who account for more than 75 percent of the world's opium poppies, which are processed into heroin, but also will focus on drug warlords in that country, many of whom help finance global terrorism."
