"I probably would have rated this higher, but I only read half and then accidentally left it on an airplane on the way back from Bangladesh. So, unfortunately I missed out on the parts I was really looking forward to. The author makes a good analysis of several different aspects both historically and currently of the problems of drug production and smuggling in Afghanistan, along with it's ties to the militancy in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Since it ties my two favorite topics for what I want to do with my life, it was likely to hold my interest."
"Good and easy read for those of you who have an interest in what is actually taking place over in Afganistan with the Taliban and Al Qaeda. The book starts off with a brief history of Afganistan and the inception of the Taliban and Al Qaeda and its evolution over the last 30 years. The meat of the book talks about the corrupt and illegal cultivation of opium and how that illegal and corrupt trade within that region is supplying al Qaeda with an endless amount of money and military arms. The book makes a point that unless we fight this drug problem and endless flow of drug money within Afganistan and that region we will not be able to truely claim victory over the Taliban and Al Qaeda. By cutting off the terrorists access to drug money we will have a better chance with slowing down Al Queda and other organizations fighting a similar cause against the West."
"The truth will set you free but after reading this book the fight for Afghanistan looks hopeless. We've been ignoring the self evident truths for the past eight years. Drug traffickers are able to collaborate much better than our own government. Hopefully Obama is listening to this woman. She's been there and seen it all first hand. Taliban is anything but an organized entente-- just an association of narco-thugs imposing a feudal agronomy on farmers who make nothing off their crops but just get to keep their lives. Protecting the people is the key but the only ones who can do this are NATO or the US as the Afghan government is corrupt or incapable. Some suggest it's not drugs but corruption as enemy number one. Nor can you look at just Afghanistan alone. You must look at Pakistan. This is a regional conflict. We've lost eight years since 2001 and I don't know if we can get them back. Makes you wonder about the old adage there's no place to go but up. Taliban has actually cached opium as prices are going down. If we start spraying then prices will rise-that's what they want us to do. Peters offers answers too and they all sound doable. I really like her idea of targeting narco drug lords with military hit teams much like we would terrorists-they are one in the same."
