DRUG DEALERS SUPPORT ENEMY
I recently heard President Bush say, "Anyone who supports Al Qaida is just
as guilty as the Taliban, and would be dealt with and held responsible for
this."
We know that a large part of Osama bin Laden's money comes from illegal
drugs. Therefore, the local drug dealer on the corner is bin Laden's
employee, selling his products. Does it not make sense that if we put away
all the drug dealers in our own country, that we would deprive bin Laden of
much of his income?
If we don't have the stomach to deal with our own drug problem, why does
anyone think we will have the resolve to see our soldiers killed in
Afghanistan? Why should a father send his son to die before we take steps
needed at home to end this. Drug dealers should be treated no differently
than anyone else who supports our enemies.
Our president gave the Taliban a few weeks to comply with his demands. He
should do the same to American drug dealers, and then destroy those who
persist in this dirty business.
