For the average Afghan farmer there is a far greater return from producing 'poppies' than there is from any other crop. As long as that is the case, and it will be until alternative crops with a similar value and the markets at which to realise that value, then the drug production will continue. In a country that recognises their tribal leaders authority high above a wetern style 'elected' government there will always be little hope of winning 'hearts and minds' through the use of an occupying army.
Didn't the Soviet Union say they had been invited in by the government in 1968 to crush the 'Prague spring'?
