Here is a video from CNN and an article from NY Times that offer two different opinions from Afghans on the opium problem in Afghanistan. The CNN video shows Afghans destroying an poppy crop because they fear the money it will bring in for the insurgency. The NY Times article shows how much Afghans dislike U.S. soldiers moving to poppy-growing provinces in order to stop the Talibans influx of drug money.
