DEMAND FOR ILLEGAL DRUGS FUELING TERRORISTS

The terrorist attacks of Sept. 11 provide Americans yet another valid
reason to stop our insatiable demand for illegal drugs. Why? A large
percentage of marijuana, cocaine, and heroin-based drugs come from South
Asia. The terrorists are known to make significant profits from the sale of
those drugs. Even some of the profits from South and Central American drugs
find their way into terrorist coffers. So the next time you patriotic
"recreational" drug users purchase, then puff, snort, or inject an illegal
substance, think about the fact that you may be buying the bullet that
kills an American serviceman.
