Part 3
ISSUE
Afghanistan war - Republican Party: Ensure elections this year and stand with the Afghan people in their quest for peace, prosperity, stability and democracy. Pursue the war against al Qaeda and its leader Osama bin Laden.
Afghanistan war - Democrat Party: Expand NATO forces outside of Kabul; accelerate training for the Afghan amry and police; and attack the exploding opium trade.

Glaring in its absence in the Demo's plank is any mention of al Qaeda, or Osama bin Laden, or even working to make Afghanistan a better place for its people. By implicit action, pursuing the al Qaeda terrorists aggressively will reduce if not wipe out the opium fields, since this area is also a stronghold of al Qaeda, for the time being. There is also a quiet program to be set in motion once the opium fields are eliminated; alternative crops will be introduced, supplementing the income formerly derived from the white dope.
