True, but as England moves to decriminalize drugs, an open poppy market would give Afghanistan an opening to legitimize its cash crop.

Obama's Margin of Victory
"Shake off all the fears of servile prejudices, under which weak minds are servilely crouched. Fix reason firmly in her seat, and call on her tribunal for every fact, every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear."
-Thomas Jefferson
