Afghanistan produces 93% of the world's supply of opium

How can we stop the dealers of drugs if we can't even control the source of the drugs?

I thought we had a whole army over there to take care of this sort of thing.

The article says that 80% of the opium they grow is along the border with Pakistan, uhmm?
