Ideological war on terror,drugs,Islam and common sense

A report on efforts to eradicate the opium harvest in Afghanistan came out this week in the New Yorker which I would recommend reading. Written very much in the style of that magazine, the article is entertaining as well as informative. The shooting scenes almost read like an engaging piece of short fiction.

What is the position of our government on the opium fields in Afghanistan? Are we helping or making things worse?
