Re “A Cloud of Ruin Hangs Over Poppy Crop,” April 11: I really and truly believe that the U.S. and Britain should withhold the pressure on the Afghanistan farmers who are growing the poppies. Then, when the U.S. stops the growing of tobacco, we can pounce on the bad guys. If there were no demand from the Western world, there would be no poppy-growing.
