Ending Terror

Submitted by David Borden on
Does it really take a genius to figure out the much of the "terror" of the world is funded by the illegal drug trade? Does it take a genius to figure out the much of the reason for the corruption is Mexico, Central, and South America is funded by illegal drug trade because if the market was controlled by legit companies the degree of profit would not be there, money would flow over the table instead of under it, and because companies not guerrillas would manage the industry? Does it take a genius to figure out that opium funds many of our Muslim enemies? Does it take a genius to figure out the the legit way to reduce taxes, free up our courts, reduce crowding in our jails, and bankrupt street gangs is to legalize the drug trade? Would addicts terrorize us in the streets, break into our houses, and hold up convenience stores if drugs were as cheap as they are to produce (even with a profit)? Do we really want to fight terror or is fighting a war that causes more harm then good but makes us feel morally superior the way to go? C.G.
