No, Execute the drug smuglers as the terrorists bent on destroying America that they are.

Why did we end prohibition? Because apparently we were empowering a massive criminal infrastructure, we couldn't curb demand for alcohol, and we couldn't get one tax dollar from the sale of illegal booze. What is different here? If I am not mistaken americans sent 50 billion dollars out of this country for the purchase of illagal drugs last year. That's more revenue than Microsoft, Cisco and Intel combined. Where does this US currency go? Is it kept in a shoebox in Columbia? Is it in a large sock somewhere in Peru? No, it is laundered through various small independent banks and then is filitered through corrupt international credit banks back to the USA. Why? Because this is the only place you can spend US dollars.

That's where I hope this administration is going when they say the terrorists are using drug sales to finance their terrorist networks. Capture the smugglers, haul them in front of military tribunals and then execute them.
