The answer to this week's trivia question is... 18. Of the 12 people who ventured a guess, only one person got it right! According to NATO, 18 of the 36 provinces are now, "poppie free." Growing poppies for the production of narcotics is big business here and how terrorists fund themselves. The ANA (Afghan National Army) is now burning poppie fields and NATO is offering big money to legitimate farmers grow wheat instead. Slowly, it seems to be working.
