From yesterday's NYT, on poppy eradicatio in Afghanistan: “There has always been a need to balance the obvious greater effectiveness of spray against the potential for losing hearts and minds,” Thomas A. Schweich, the assistant secretary of state for international narcotics issues, said in an interview last week in Washington. “The question is whether that’s manageable. I think that it is.”
That means that to rid Afghanistan from the evil of opium the U.S. is ready to loose the hearts and minds of the poor Afghanis. Good luck!
