As an American, I am outraged that our government would support a so-called
war on drugs. This policy that is strongly supported by both the Democrats
and Republicans is nothing short of murder.
Murder may sound like a stretch, but how can our government justify sending
helicopter gunships with .50-caliber machine guns to kill drugs? Now there
is a stretch.
I strongly disagree with any military action that would hide behind a lie
of any sort. I strongly disagreed with sending men, money and equipment
overseas to support this lie. Think about how much money we have sent to
other countries in the name of this so-called war on drugs. Consider if
there was no war on drugs. Would that make drugs more appealing to you?
Would you run out and go buy some drugs? Do not guess what other people
would do, what would you do? Do you believe our government when it tells us
this war is necessary to stop people from using drugs? Do you believe our
government when it tells us this war is saving lives?
