According to the U.N., Afghan farmers make about $2,000 per acre growing poppies. Which ever crop you want to substitute for poppies, or even buy the poppy crop from the Afghan farmers to turn it into bio-mass, you will have to equal or beat the $2,000 per acre price. Now that’s capitalism! Of course, if the Taliban and/or the warlords threaten the farmers to sell ONLY to them, then what do you do? Well, you can go and kill ALL the warlords. We are already trying to kill all of the Taliban.
