Abstract: "Over eighty-five percent of the heroin consumed in Europe comes from Afghanistan, where, despite the belligerent declarations of Western officials, production has exploded. Poppy growing, which enjoys ideal climatic conditions in Afghanistan, is the only source of income for many of the country's small farmers. Opium trafficking between the Afghan mountains and the Kandahar market continues to flourish even though the U.S. Army has initiated a series of ambitious operations to eradicate poppy cultivation. Is there a genuine desire to wipe out, or at least bring under control, drug trafficking in Afghanistan?"--Container.
