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?
As far as I can tell, the US is NOT involved in poppy eradication in Afghanistan. If we were, Afghanistan wouldn't be the world's biggest exporter like it is now.

But I thought that there was a War on Drugs here in the U S of A... IMO, this developement will not sit well with bush...
