Under the supervision of the United Nations, and funded by the US and UK,
scientists in Uzbekistan are working on
a
fungus that destroys opium plants, with the hope of eliminating opium
plantations and hopefully making this evil plant extinct. Hope you're not too
fond of poppy-seed rolls. Mind you, Afghanistan, the terrorist state
responsible for most of the world's opium production, is unlikely to allow the
UN to spray their country with the fungus. The obvious solution would be to
pound Afghani cities with cruise missiles until they relent and allow the
spraying to go ahead; and if they hurry, they just might get it in before the
upcoming US Presidential election.
