Nope

The only thing that would stop opium production in that area of the world is a lack of need or want for the product.
Opium is both a needed and a wanted product.
Its needed in a godawful amount of medicines and wanted for its ability to get you high.

If we can't manage to do anything about the drugs in our own country with a ridiculously extensive amount of effort placed on policing the growing, trade, transportation, and use, how can we be expected to do it in other countries?

in great demand. So, no.

when bush has 11,000 soldiers in afghanistan(comparison:in iraq he has 159,000 soldiers and he still can't maintain the peace....plus.....iraq is smaller....which raises a question....why in afghanistan,a country bigger that iraq and the former sponsor of the greatest terrorist in the world has about 15 times less soldiers that a country who had nothing to do with 9/11 but has oil?) and most of them are still fighting rebels.......and a country who's ministers are associated with opium...u dont really expect a change do u?
