What is next? Flying our own airplanes into our... ..nevermind.
It is going to get worse before it gets better I am afraid.
The War on Drugs helps terrorists anyway, by providing them with ready funding for their activities. Without the price support from Prohibition, they'd have to turn to another source for hard cash.
The battle to stem the flow of heroin and opium has resulted in the deaths of more than 3,500 Iranian anti-narcotics police since 1997.
High probability that more anti-narcotics police were killed than there would have been overdose deaths prevented from the heroin the agencies seized since 1997. Even then they probably seized about only 10% of supply.
Perhaps nothing more powerful than persons that have turned against a conviction they once believed in. John Lott for example, author of: More Guns, Less Crime. Here comes LEAP.
Law Enforcement Against Prohibition -- LEAP. In the trenches, judges, prosecutors, LEOs, DEA, FBI etc. that have witnessed the WOD from the inside. Having busted and prosecuted several thousand victims of the WOD they eventually faced the fact that the WOD is a miserable failure and now speak out against prohibition.

It is truly and utterly amazing that so many folks would prefer to create vast wealth benefitting terrorists and psychopaths, than to suffer the thought of another human being getting high.
Good grief. What an utterly stupid mistake. Our governments know for sure that the terrorist states promote the drug trade.

The sale to Iran had nothing to do with the war on drugs. We know that, because the story above came from The Times (U.K.). Read behind the following link for some background information that few Euro-philes want anyone to see.

The Brits have been had.
"The Islamist regime has responded by cracking down on students on several occasions in order to defuse the most imminent threats of rebellion. It has also devised a more sinister and long-term plan for the containment of Iranian youth: a systematic and massive induction to drug addiction, which has now reached colossal proportions. Several United Nations and DEA reports have documented this crisis, indicating that drug addiction is the thorniest problem in Iran.
To give an idea of the magnitude of this matter, Afghanistan produced around 6,000 tons of opium in 2003—approximately half of which has been acquired by Iran. After the Afghani government announced it would crack down on opium production, the Iranian government decided, after an open debate reported by several official press agencies such as IRNA, to start producing opium on Iranian soil to satisfy the internal (and induced) demand."
