Sorry to be so cynical but any plan to curtail or prevent the growing of poppies in the Muslim world is shortsighted.
Do we rally want to get Muslims off dope? Is it in our best interest? Aren’t we better off if they remain narcotized?
Heroin and opium addicts aren’t inclined toward aggression. In fact, they aren’t inclined toward expending energy for any reason. Isn’t Mohamed nodding preferred to Mohamed raging?
Before Western engineers arrived in the Middle East with their noisy drilling equipment in the early Twentieth Century, the Muslims had been sound asleep for centuries. Bad enough we woke the bastards up, why clear their dope fuzzed minds?
Teach them modern farming methods so they can increase their poppy yield per acre say I. May Allah bless them with bumper crops.
