  They have been trying the aforementioned crop replacement initiative for ten years and its made no difference whatsoever. Im not sure if anything else will grow there in a significant way as its not exactly a fertile green and pleasant land. A dustbowl springs to mind. The fact of the matter is that without the poppy fields the nation would starve as they have no other way of earning money. To them its bread and butter. How can they give up their bread and butter.
  
  The latest US Commander was featured on the radio4 this morning telling of the sad plight of the overall situation stating that the coalition effort has made no difference to the lives of ordinary people in Afghanistan....and they are not beating the Taliban. Its like the ocean tidal system isnt it...they take over a town and a few days later the Taliban are back...the tide comes in and out..round and round and round we go where it ends nobody knows!
  
  Just to add this bit about BarryW and the ARSSE website. I havent had time to look at it but would accept that many would rubbish Gordon Brown but isnt that the usual herd thing as often seen on internet message boards. In a years time if DCameron gets in he will be getting the same kind of kicking. Its what some of these websites do! Cameron wont be immune from a lashing. The knockers are not politically aware. Its just knocking for knockings sake.
