The forgotten war?

Afghanistan recently reported a huge poppy crop, one of the largest harvests ever. And that's despite U.S. pressure on Afghan president Hamid Karzai to reduce the dependence on growing poppies for opium. An authority on Afghanistan, and a friend to Karzai, says the U.S. has to offer more to turn Afghans away from a crop that's so easy to grow and so lucrative.
