Karzai: Don't Spray Our Poppies
A U.N. survey released this week showed Afghanistan this year supplied 87 percent of the world's opium - the raw material for heroin - following record-high cultivation that has skyrocketed since the fall of the Taliban in 2001.
The heroin industry undermines Afghanistan's democracy and puts money into the coffers of terrorists, the U.N. report said, adding that the "fear that Afghanistan might degenerate into a narco-state is slowly becoming a reality."
