Shut up.
How about that libertarians?
I'm glad you asked that!
From what we were told about the Afghanis it is
the War On Drugs that gives terrorists the most income.
Our Government outlawed drugs which caused the
price that criminals can charge for them to be excessively
high.
Furthermore, because the terrorists underworld has
a need to hide it's activities from established society
in the same way as drug dealers, the melding of the
two counter-cultures has been a natural occurrence.
The sensational news value of the effort to stop
drug trafficking continues to give drug use far better
advertising to potential users than Madison Avenue
ever could.
In addition to this, the illicit nature of drug use drove
the normal adolescent curiosity in young people to
find out what all of the hype is about.
It is not far fetched to realize that stopping the war
on drugs would dry up terrorist money and methods
when contraband would suddenly go from hundreds,
thousands and millions of dollars, to pennies and nickels.
Drug dealers would be driven out of business when
they can no longer make a profit.
Private social service agencies could quickly move in to
treat drug users through education and counseling.
Users would be able to more readily seek help when they
are no longer being imprisoned because they made
themselves addicted.
Private businesses and industry could more effectively
focus its efforts toward assuring that employees were
drug free when the need to hide worker's addictions
from police agencies is ended.
Drug use would no longer have an illicit drawing power.
Associated crimes such as robbery and murder would
decrease drastically because users would no longer have
to steal or kill to get money to buy drugs.
Then police agencies could focus on apprehending
terrorists instead of terrorizing citizens..
