#4 Removing the easy money of heroin is the key. I recently read that 70% of the violence is concentrated in 10% of the districts (south) where 6% of the population lives. It's also where almost all the poppies are grown.

The poppies have to be destroyed, even if we have to pay the farmers a stipend to grow food. But I don't see NATO willing to do that because of the heavier fighting that it will entail. It will be left the Afghan Army, but they need to gear up before attempting to ride around and plow under poppies.

Hell, we've been know to pay farmers not to grow food. Why look at all those farmers here. Who'd thought you could farm so well there?
