Bring Down Taliban & Heroin

The United States could bring the Taliban and heroin trafficking to it's knees in one fell swoop. But we wont do it. What is this that we could do? Destroy the poppie crop for 2 years in Afghanistan. This will not only slow down the Taliban but it would bring heroin trafficking to a standstill. All the excuses they use not to do this can be mitigated.
Excuse 1 would be some moral crap about hurting the farmers over there, ignoring the facts of what the Taliban are doing to our troops and most of all what heroin is doing to our young citizens here and around the world.
Excuse 2 would be about hurting the production of morphine. BS. The are enough pain drugs in the world to give everyone an overdose.
Excuse 3 would be about hurting the production of poppie seeds. BS. Who would care? Mcdonalds?
There are no legitimate excuses for not doing it but we won't and so the Taliban still kill our troops and teenagers are still getting addicted to heroin. Go figure.

PEACE.LOVE.HAPPINESS
