Radical Indians are associating themselves with Fidel Castro and with other totalitarians, so it would not be surprise to find the next devastating terrorist attack spawned from "sovereign territory" that is located within the U.S.

Unintended Consequences of greedy politicians who raise cigarette taxes to obscene levels.
Thanks Pataki and Bloomberg for putting us in more danger.

"Unintended Consequences of greedy politicians who raise cigarette taxes to obscene levels"
No, no, no these are the unintended consequences of square of the hypotenuse of the price of beans in Argentina, I hold these truths to be self-evident.
My statement makes just as much sense as yours does...
Here is the real root cause.
GREEDY traitorous Indian hos get in bed (literally) with home-grown terrorist camel humpers to the mutual benefit of both pieces of sh*t.
The traitorous behaviors of two hos, followed by the logical behaviour of avowed Muslim enemies does not equal "greedy politicians" making money off the sale of drugs (cigarettes).

I am not letting those Indians off the hook if they are involved, However if the cigarette taxes of many states like New York and Michigan weren't so obscenly high then there wouldn't be a market for the contraband cigarettes.

So you think it's OK for them to get the two cents. Is that what you mean?
To: lockjaw02
Now now...we musn't scale back any "good government policy" to defund terrorists. Not when Washington has all that money to fight the problem that the greedy state governments created. Why, if we just got rid of the incentive that over taxed cigarettes provides, it might put some cops and prison guards out of work. And then there is the tax revenue "for the children." Yes, we must always shut up and pay up when that sucker-line is used.

The two cents wouldn't be there if the states wouldn't have jacked up the cigarette taxes so much. But that's ok...we can't risk losing government jobs and social programs by getting rid of what makes cigarette smuggling so profitable to start with.

When the government interferes with the sale of products people want to buy, it just becomes a new funding source for some form of organized crime, EVERY SINGLE TIME. Terrorists, gang members, the mafia, you name it. One of them will step in.

Cigarettes should either be completely legal, taxed at a normal rate, largely unregulated, and subject to product liability like any other product out there, or completely banned. This halfway banning and taxing scheme is an open invitation for mischief.

Here is the real root cause.I don't know that that is the root cause.
I don't know what the root cause is other than muslim fanatics.
It is still unintended consequences of greedy politicians that makes the selling of 'contraband' cigarettes a possibility for funding terrorists.
