I recall that the Bushies gave the Taliban $43 million as a reward for destroying Afghanistan's major cash crop one year. The poppy farmers are NOT the ones making the big bucks off the opium trade; they're probably like our farmers, who would fold up quick if they lost an entire year's production.

Put it down as environmental DU contamination exacerbated by two factors: malnutrition, and the growing of the food they DO have in soil that's contaminated by DU.
