The war on drugs undermines the war on terror
The war on drugs provides funding for terrorists. It also provides the criminal networks of distribution and communication for terrorists.

1. Neither is a war of course -
The "war on drugs" is a moral crusade, does nothing to curb use, just keeps cops, drug dealers, and politicians in business.


The "war" on terror has become a crusade of sorts as well. Only targets Muslims who use terror. It is not a war because there is no one to negotiate surrender with - hence it can go on forever.

3. I got my copy of 'Crossing the Rubicon' by Michael Ruppert. Our
economy depends on illegal drugs. He made the claim that when the Taliban banned opium in Afghanistan, that was why the market dropped so much. Great book. Buy and read. It blames Bushco for 9-11. It makes it seem like we have lost everything through the greed and stupidity of our government. There is no war on drugs. Our economy needs it too much to function. And it provides the CIA with money to pull off all this illegal stuff.
