That question isn't a hypothetical anymore. I'll be interviewing the Afghan Ambassador to the U.S. next week and I want to ask him the questions that matter to you.

From the war on terror to the war on drugs, Afghanistan illustrates a myriad of U.S. foreign policy successes and failures. It remains a strategic ally as the stability of the country becomes a growing concern with the increase of militant Islam in Pakistan and the consequences of the war in Iraq.

Here's a question:

In the report “Poppy for Medicine,” The Senlis Council says, “the counter-narcotics policies currently being pursued in an attempt to resolve Afghanistan’s poppy crisis are fueling support for the Taliban and the insurgency.” Is it time to abandon the forced eradication of poppy crops and move to a constructive model of control, such as the Senlis Council’s suggested “Poppy for Medicine” program?

this is a link to the report:

Where is Bin Laden and why can't we find him?
