if we're serious about restricting heroin, we need to provide a good alternative for the farmers - and the warlords - who depend on this source of money. I remember thinking as a young radical kid that drugs should be legalized, just to stop criminals from pushing them. Now that I am of "the establishment" age with teenage kids of my own, I feel exactly the same. Tony Blair and George Bush have an open chequebook to legalize all drugs (sold under government control, with enforced public education plus monitors) as far as I'm concerned. They also have open chequebook to summarily execute any drug pushing warlord they wish, with or with out a trial. This is a war too. Bread and wheat are going to be the currency of choice in Afghanistan this winter. Beats "drug money soup" and "poppy pie" for taste and sustenance.
