British troops are facing "very difficult objectives" in Afghanistan,
the former Conservative party leader William Hague said yesterday.
"They have to win the hearts and minds of the local population while at
the same time removing their main source of income ... Unless it can be
shown to the people in Afghanistan that there's an alternative future
to growing opium and being with the Taliban ... we are not going to
succeed."
