He’s right about the drug war. He’s so very wrong that there is a strong parallel between it and the war between Islamofacism and the rest of the world. In the first case, the root causes are the human desire for intoxication that in some cases turns terribly destructive, plus the government’s willingness to make war on its own citizens to try to stomp it out.
In the second case, there’s a violent, expansionist religious sect that has been able to use oil money to export itself around the world and wage war on modern civilization. I don’t see the comparison.

Paul thinks that we don't understand the problems in both cases, and therefore apply the wrong remedies.
