Which makes me wonder why Blair would make such a logical statement that goes against all US policy efforts of poppy eradication, denied by current Afghanistan government. Rummy and the unfunded Medicare prescription plan was the pay back for US pharmaceutical industry political support and they don't deal (pun intended) in morphine.

Could this be a first step in the UK diverting from certain current US policies?
No more Bush lap dog status in the world as a goal?
