When President Karzai was here, I heard him say in his speech to Parliament that if we don't kill the poppies, the poppies will kill us. You're giving us a different message, which is to regularize the poppy growth and utilize it the world over--provide an economic base.
Why would President Karzai say that to us, if he knows, presumably, that simply antagonizes people and makes more enemies for him and for us?
