MOSCOW. (Pyotr Goncharov for RIA Novosti)...
two known methods of effectively dealing with opium where it is produced. The first involves force, or destruction of poppy plantations, and second, decriminalization of opium. So far, the attempts at using force have had little effect in Afghanistan. It is clear that the force methods used by ISAF, NATO and the U.S. will not work in Afghanistan. The national parliaments will not permit them because the effort will call for more human resources and funds.So what is the way out? Could decriminalization be a better option? At least, production will be under control, and a contribution will be made to public coffers. But outside the Afghan borders, more serious efforts will be needed than now, including life sentences for drug dealers.
