Do ever listen to yourself?
It's all right to bomb a county because you don't like the plants they grow and bombing and possibly killing innocent people is better than herbicides because they cause environmental damage.
And then out of the other side of your ovine muzzle you say you are worried about violent crime and people being killed.
OK Sybil
If you would learn how to read and comprehend what you read, I told said you could inform them weeks before hand that the area is going to be destroyed of coca. You can give them a map and the time of day. I also said it should be a joint effort with other industrialized nations victimized by drugs and the producer nations would be given a chance to destroy the crops themselves. I only gave the example of coca. It's grown on plantations and takes a couple years to mature enough to provide leaves. There are usually two picking seasons per year and in Bolivia, the leader of their country was President of the coca growers union.
If you had any background of knowledge, instead of spending your whole life as a right-wing dummy, you would know part of the environment involves people. If you sprayed the amount of chemicals to kill that coca, you'd have cancer deaths for generations. You would know that if you gave a damn about knowledge, but you never will. You just key on a word and your mouth is never connected to a brain.
The violence in coca is created where it's grown. No one wants to go there and kill a bunch of poor people who are mostly Native American in heritage. You give them plenty of time to get away from those fields and light them up. They aren't going to be picking coca there next year.
