Another Afghanistan Success Story

Asked about the report, Jean-Luc Lemahieu, country representative of the UN Office on Drugs and Crime in Afghanistan, warned: "We are back in the situation we had in 2007-08.
"For a long while, when we had 20 opium-free provinces, it seemed that we were able to push the opium back into the most insecure southern provinces. Today that is not any longer the case, and the governance issue is key to that," he told the Guardian.

    Lots of cash swashing around for the summer. Cutting opium production requires imoroved governance and a developing economy, not just security. This is a time problem that NATO can't "fix" in 3-5 years.
