#2 1. Pull ALL Americans and American equipment out (or sabotage the equipment so it won't work after a certain date), including embassy personnel. Suggest American civilians (if there are any) also leave.

2. Once all the Americans are out, send in planes with fighter escorts to spray ALL the poppy fields.

3. Hilarity ensues.
